Highland games, Celtic clans on tap this weekend

Wear your kilt and bring your clan out to Four Winds Faire this weekend for the Celtic Celebration.

Four Winds will celebrate Celtic music, dress and heritage on Saturday and Sunday. The highlight of the weekend will be the Highland Games, a competition of strength and skill.
