    The Oklahoma Scottish Festival would like to say a big thank you for supporting us once again, during rain, torrential downpours and lots of mud you came out.

    We hope you were not too disappointed and understand why we had to close early on Saturday evening, the decision was not made lightly and was made for safety reasons.

    We all had a great time, and will do it all again next year, bigger and better!

    We look forward to seeing you all back for our 30th Anniversary year, 2009!
