2nd Annual - Iron Thistle "Scottish Heritage Festival and Highland Games" March 28 & 29, '08, is over, but by no means, not forgotten. It was lots of work, lots planning, but very, very, rewarding.WOW! WOW! WOW! WHAT A FESTIVAL WE HAD!--- Hope everyone had a great time. Very soon, we'll be starting on the planning stages for the '09 Festival.
We had a chance to see some of the best Athletic Games, hear some enlightening Genealogy research training, eat some of the best traditional Celtic food, and visit some of the finest Vendors of Celtic items and Clans than anywhere in the state. Hope you got to hear and see the non-stop entertainment of Bagpipes, Celtic Bands and Celtic Dancers perform. We got to see Clydesdale Horses, lots of other animals. There was something enjoyable for every member of the family, and that's exactly what we wanted. So start thinking and planning for the next Iron Thistle in 2009, in Yukon, Oklahoma.
A Wonderful Location, plenty of parking, and superb festival grounds. Click on: "Iron Thistle Festival Site" for an area map of the festival grounds. The Kirkpatrick Historical Park in Yukon, OK., is right off I-40 at Garth Brooks Blvd. & Vandament Ave.
