Saline Celtic Festival
Our workshop at the Saline Celtic Festival went well. We crammed three full audience participation sets onto the stage, and we hope to see some of those folks at class!
We also discovered Duncans Highland Supply out of Royal Oak, MI, who sells ghillie dances shoes along with their other merchandise. They're making an order from James Senior this week, and if you want something they don't normally stock, they're happy to get it for you.
