Please let Nancy Hall Berens know by Friday, August 6 if you plan to attend (nhallberens@wpc-alex.org) but join us even if you decide at the last minute!

Spend the day watching the caber toss, highland dance, and sheepherding and listening to bagpipes, drums and fiddles! Look up your family’s clan. Shop for Scottish and Celtic crafts. Try some haggis! Explore the Scottish side of our Presbyterian heritage and have a fun day in the country with friends. Carpools will leave church at 9:00 a.m. and return in the afternoon. You can buy tickets at the door or get a discounted ticket in advance by going to www.vascottishgames.org.
October 8-10: The Fall Retreat will be Columbus Day weekend this year at Graves Mountain Lodge south of Sperryville, Virginia.
