The Penticton Scottish Festival always takes place on the first Saturday in July, which this year coincides with Canada91裸聊视频檚 150th Birthday.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e got it all organized. I think it91裸聊视频檚 going to be a good one,91裸聊视频 said Wayne McDougall, president of the Scottish Festival Society, adding that they91裸聊视频檙e celebrating both Canadian and Scottish heritage.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 another experience of Canada 150 on Canada Day,91裸聊视频 he said. 91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e got a small set of bagpipes that pretty much everyone will be able to make a noise with at least.

This is the fourth year for the current incarnation of the Scottish Festival. Previously, Penticton hosted an annual festival for 30 years.

Besides the Canada Day fun, McDougall said there will be lots to watch and do, including the heavy games, including the caber toss, where he says there is a good slate of entrants.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e got an expanded kids zone, so some new activities for the children. We try to make sure that it91裸聊视频檚 entertaining for the family as well,91裸聊视频 said McDougall. 91裸聊视频淭he kids, young and old, if they91裸聊视频檙e not competing in one of the events they can participate in some other way.91裸聊视频

Other competitions running throughout the day include Celtic dancing, and the stock dogs are back herding sheep again.

McDougall said it91裸聊视频檚 a great experience being part of putting the festival together.

91裸聊视频淔or me, the most fun is just being there on the day and walking around and meeting the people and just seeing the smiles on their face. When a pipe band starts up everyone swells with pride; it91裸聊视频檚 just looking at the people that are enjoying the event that gives me a lot of fulfilment,91裸聊视频 he said.

Besides the games, there will be music throughout the day.
