There were plenty of vendors with Celtic gifts and foods for everybody.

Long time members Ian & Moira Stalker surprised us with a visit.

Games of horseshoes are a tradition at the Annual GRSS Picnic

While some played horseshoes, others preferred to get out of the blistering sun and catch up.

Members of the Grand Rapids & District Pipe Band joined us for lunch, then entertained us.

Here's a few pictures from the Alma Highland Festival, May 28th & 29th, 2005

Here, a pipe band works it way towards

the competition grounds, through the crowd!

There were lovely lassies dancing too!

Very entertaining to watch...(Cute too!)

The Highland Games

are great fun to watch!

This almost looks like it hurts!

These pipers played for hours and hours!

One of the many bands that

performed in the "mass band" finale!

Here's a shot of the field at Alma College

while the bands played together as a whole!

The May meeting featured a wonderful "pot luck" meal after the official business of the Grand Rapids Scottish Society had taken place.

In line for the "pot-luck"

"Thistle Head" entertains!

Entertainment was provided by "Thistle Head." These very talented musicians are also Society Members, and can be hired for events of all kinds!

One of the guests at May's meeting was Lora Bourjaily, a recent U of M graduate who will be spending her summer working in Scotland until she returns to begin Law School later this year! She won one of the ever famous hand-made afghans donated by the other lovely young lady in this picture, (Shirley Moore!)
