A few new sporrans for East Texas Celtic fest

Ok ---Bad news and good news.
Bad--- East Texas Celtic fest has had to be postponed again. 1st it was all the rain keeping them from getting stages and grounds prepared at the new site in Hawkins and this time it's the high percentage of storms.
While I know many of y'all are anxious as I am for this festival to happen I believe (although I'm glad I didn't have to make the decision) that there were two choices one--would they be able to show patrons a great celebration of Celtic heritage? Would the performers even be able perform?
Would it pay off for vendors? (Also there's the major investment made preparing the new site)
I imagine it will be warmer in June.
I'm sure cooling station will be provided.
So let's just look forward to June 12,13 & 14.
I was just out there and the grounds are beautiful. Jane and I will be there and we hope y'all will join us in supporting this new local even if this 1st time here is getting off to a ruff start. It'll be a bunchofun. That's the good news.
So sez Bruce the Leatherman and his lovely wife Jane

Sorry we didn't post more during Avalon Faire but we were really busy, before opening day we we're already booked 2weeks for custom orders and we stayed busy. I hope you all got to come out for all the fun.
Coming up next is East Texas Celtic fest in Hawkins. While it had to be postponed ( due to deluges and monsoon--like rains in that location)
till Memorial day weekend (4days)
Jane and I are looking forward to
the new (and easy to find) location.
So y'all plan on coming on out to see the shows, eat tasty food, and see what all the crafty vendors have to offer. Be sure to stop buy (see what I did there) and see your favorite Leatherman. If you can't stop holler and wave as ya walk past.
