160th Victoria Highland Games & Celtic Festival
Clarior Hinc Honos!
Please come join us in Vancouver, British Columbia!
Clan buchanan will be represented by Paul McCormack. Please give him a hand: I'm a new to convening and am venturing from my home in Edmonton, Alberta to spread the joy of Clan Buchanan to my neighbouring province to the west - British Columbia. Attending this event his will be a whirlwind 3 day trip, traveling what will likely entail more than 13 hours of driving time, not including pitstops along the way, in each direction. The scenery will be spectacular, the numb butt will be inevitable, the hours will be fatiguing, the fast food will be survivable, but the joyous engagement with visitors at the venue will obscure all the toil and travails and I feel a certainty that it will be a fabulous adventure!
I'm taking this on because I truly enjoy the experience, & interactions with all the wonderful folks who attend these events, & I believe that the Clan Buchanan Society International is a very positive addition to any Celtic, or Scottish event, & it is long past time for our Clan presence to be seen, heard, & felt in Beautiful British Columbia. (I can't believe it's going to take an Albertan to ignite the fire of Clan Buchanan pride in B.C.!)
That said, it is a substantial effort, & it is my hope that I will encounter a potential convener(s) who resides in the Vancouver, or lower B.C. mainland area willing, & able to attend future events to continue a presence at the local venues, & 'carry the torch' forward on behalf of Clan Buchanan.
Clar Innis!
