SCOTTISH GATHERING AND GAMES CELEBRATES 146 YEARS
Considered by many as the largest Scottish celebration in the world, the Scottish Highland Gathering & Games, set for the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton, will celebrate 146 years of continuous Celtic presentations.
Presented by the members and volunteers of the Caledonian Club of San
Francisco, the annual celebration utilizes most every portion of Norther and
Central California's largest county fairgrounds.
This year's 146th Scottish Highland Gathering & Games is set for September 3
and 4 over the Labor Day weekend.
Among the major events will be more than 30 pipe bands from the U.S. and Canada, including three world-class Grade I bands. The L.A. Scots from Southern California will be joined by two famous Canadian bands, the Alberta Caledonian band from Edmonton and the Triumph Street band from Vancouver, BC.
Returning this year will be the popular U.S. Marine Band San Diego. The Pleasanton Games is the only venue in the world where a U.S. military band and a Grade I pipe band march and perform together as a single unit. The L.A. Scots and the Marine band will perform together.
Fans of athletic skills will appreciate the Heavy Events, which this year include the world's top professional athletes competing in Team Championships with six two-man teams, representing the U.S., Canada, Scotland, England, Poland and Holland and sanctioned by the International Highland Games Federation. Additionally, the men's and women's amateur athletes represent more than 20 U.S. states. Heavy Event competitors in all classes are required to compete in all eight athletic disciplines, including the fabled caber, weight-for-height, hammer, stone putt and weight-for-distance.
No Scottish celebration would be complete without the Highland Dancing competition with the Western U.S. Open Championships on tap.
Back for its second year will be the Irish Pavilion, featuring Irish Step
Dancing demonstrations by several local Irish dancing schools. Last year's
inaugural Irish Pavilion activities proved very popular.
Entertainment abounds with seven stages of continuous activity throughout
the fairgrounds featuring everything from traditional balladeers and vocal
groups to Celtic Rock, plus the Fiddler's Rally, Harping and Scottish
Country Dancing venues. Among the favorites in the Celtic Rock will be
internationally recognized Tempest, Australia's Brother and Scotland's
tribal Albannach. Molly's Revenge, the Browne Sisters, Golden Bough, Peter
Daldry and Neil O'Neill, plus Scotland TV personality, singer Isla St Clair
entertain throughout the weekend.
Adding to the bountiful venues will be Living History, a re-creation of
Mary Queen of Scots and her entourage, the Highland Warriors, the Roman
Legion and the invading Vikings.
The Birds of Prey includes more than 30 exotic birds and their accredited
handlers. The Sheep Dog Trials portray the intricacies of Border Collies
herding sheep via the whistle commands from the dogs master.
For the "wee ones" is the Children's Glen, with games and prizes.
Nearly 100 clans are represented in the Gathering of the Clans area where one can find information on Scottish roots.
The Pleasanton Games have always been the site of the Five-a-Side Soccer Tournament with eight semi-pro teams competing. The athletics also include tournaments in Rugby and the ancient Scottish game of Shinty.
Returning for the fourth year is the "Taste of Whisky at the Games", providing the opportunity to sample premium single malt Scottish whiskies, or to sign up for the Master Class where the fine points of the libations are provided by an expert. Because of high demand, the Master Class moves to a second building this year.
British automobiles are displayed and a team of Clydesdale horses and wagon tour the grounds.
For the adventurous shopper, the Games provide more than 100 vendors located in five building. British food, including bangers, meat pies, Scotch eggs and more are supplemented by traditional American fair food and drink.
Preceding the weekend's Games on Friday will be the "March Under the Arch on Main Street from 5 to 5:30 p.m. with a pipe band and the U.S. Marines. Friday evening at the host hotel, the Marriott San Ramon, the Friday Night Concert, hosted by Isla St Clair, is held. Saturday night at the Red Lion Pub on the fairgrounds, a Scottish Party "Ceilidh" is held. The entertainment is free and is provided by our local Nashville recording artists "Rodeo House". The BBQ dinner is extra.

The Pleasanton Harvest Festival®, happening September 16-18 at the Alameda Fairgrounds, is primarily known as an annual shopping haven, boasting an eclectic array of gifts and handmade items, but customers will find that there is a lot more than just shopping at the event.
The Pleasanton Harvest Festival® has revamped their entertainment line-up and will feature a myriad of new acts that are sure to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. Those who prefer an upbeat and lively sound will be on their feet for the Bad Catz. Based out of the greater Sacramento area, the Bad Catz is an established band that features a wide variety of Rock, Rhythm and Blues music.
Also burning up the main stage will be the Fargo Brothers, who have been playing shows all over the country since 1979. Veterans of well over 3000 live shows, these four seasoned professionals deliver a brand of roots Rock and Roll with a fire and intensity that only three decades of playing together can bring. Known for their vocal harmonies and tight ensemble playing, the Fargo Brothers’ sets are always a crowd favorite.
And of course, no Harvest Festival® is complete without the strolling entertainers like WC Willy, who will be wranglin’ all the kids in his cowboy costume and meandering the aisles on his gigantic stilts. Some of the other strolling performers include Derek the Mime, Big Mama Sue and Fast Eddie and new act, comedic juggler Derek Gunter.
New this year to the show is a special Scrapbooking ‘Shop and Crop’ feature taking place during the event in the Hall of Commerce building. Die-hard scrapbook fans will get the rare opportunity to purchase their own table space and spend the day scrapbooking, shopping and even staying late into the evening to work on their scrapbooks, win prizes and socialize with friends in a lively atmosphere. The new interactive feature will run Friday and Saturday from 10am-10pm and Sunday from 10am-4pm. The deadline for entry forms to be received is August 25th, 2011 and anyone who purchases a space both Friday and Saturday will receive a space on Sunday for free.
The official charity of the Pleasanton Harvest Festival® is the Brentwood Liberty High School Cheer Squad, a non-profit youth cheer program. The Liberty High Cheer Squad will receive half of every dollar spent on shopping bags, as well as all of the proceeds from the parcel and coat check. To help further aid the community, the Harvest Festival® is offering a $2 off discount coupon to anyone who brings a non-perishable donation to benefit the Alameda County Community Food Bank.
The Harvest Festivals boast over 24,000 handmade arts and crafts,
including jewelry, woodturnings, art and photography, specialty foods,
clothing, décor and more. Attendees can interact directly with vendors,
watch artist demonstrations, taste delicious foods and enter to win amazing
prizes, such as the grand prize Americana quilt. Don’t miss your only chance
of the year to shop over 24,000 handmade arts and crafts, all while

Jimmy Webb
Jimmy Webb might have been a legend even if he had only written By the Time
I get to Phoenix — now the third most-performed song of the past fi fty
years. That he went on to pen Wichita Lineman, Galveston, and Up, Up and
Away, guaranteed his place in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and
makes him the only artist ever to receive Grammy awards in all three
categories – music, lyrics and orchestration. There is nothing quite like
hearing Jimmy Webb sing his own legendary and heartfelt tunes, and share in
his stories of life on the road.
