May SIGnificant Notes

If you think our Utah spring weather has been hectic with its many hourly changes rushing from one extreme to another, wait until you catch all the activity being undertaken by your stalwart board of directors and committee members as they gear up for our major spring-summer events.

These are the seasons when we really go public with our Scottish pride, sense of fun, competition, fine dining, fashion and unique music! Place these dates on your calendar so you are part of the joyful celebration of all things Scottish. Remember, we are always seeking additional assistance from interested folks who’d like to volunteer their time and service during these events. Please check our link for volunteers and let us know if you’d like to be included!

May 21,22,23 -Living Traditions SLC

We join other ethnic groups who celebrate their food heritage with samples to purchase during the busy weekend. A Scottish specialty has been selected to star in the invitational cooking demonstration.

June 12 & 13 -Utah Scottish Festival & Highland Games, Thanksgiving Point, Lehi

August 27 & 28 -Cache Celtic Festival & Highland Games, American West Heritage Center, Wellsville

These are our two annual public celebrations of Scottish and Highland traditions as well as traditional samples from our Celtic cousins, the Irish and Welsh. Thousands of visitors join us each year in these exciting displays of a memorable culture. Check our web page links to find the general schedule of events, available vendors with food and special Scottish themed merchandise, sign up for our various competitions and note the popular entertainers who will share their talent with us all.

This labor of love is made possible by a very few people who have enormous commitment, stamina and a deep sense of pride for their Scottish heritage. We honor our ancestors by sharing their traditions with the future generations. Some things in life are just too important to forget and the best of our Scottish heritage ranks right up there.
