MORE ACTIVITIES ********************
These activiies and exhibits will be going on continually during the festival:
Celtic Dog Breeds:
Come see and learn about the various Celtic dog breeds ranging from little "Westies" to massive Irish Wolfhounds. The exhibits will be setup on the west side of the park on Saturday and particpate in the opening ceremonies. On Sunday they will parade and demonstrate on the main field.
Highland Cattle:
From the Highlands of Scotland, with their majestic sweeping horns and long, thick coat of flowing hair, the Highland breed of cattle is truly a beautiful sight to behold. This particular breed of cattle can survive on poor pastures and woodlands due to their unique ability to convert poor forage into usable food for growth and maintenance. They are known for their longevity and excellent mothering--it is not unusual for a Highland in excess of fifteen years of age to continue to breed and raise calves.
Living History:
The living history area has several exhibits where you can experience live demonstrations of the weapons, tools, dress and customs of our Celtic ancestors.
