Gráinne Diver of The Screaming Orphans
Upstairs at the Valley Forge Casino Resort, guests tried to beat the odds at slots and table games… and good luck with that.
Downstairs in the convention hall, the Mid-Winter Scottish and Irish Festival was a sure winner.
The 2013 edition of the annual Celtic get-together looked to be one of the best attended we’ve seen. There was much to attract visitors, with non-stop music from the likes of the Screaming Orphans (fabulous), the tribal pipe-and-drum craziness that is Albannach, Timlin and Kane, and Brother. The vendors did brisk business in jewelry, Highland attire, and canned Haggis. And the Highland Creamery ice cream stand had long lines of hungry festival-goers lining up for a dish of Bailey’s and brown bread ice cream.
We have tons of photos from the weekend. Check out our slideshow, above.
… and also one cute little video featuring our own Haley Richardson sitting in with the John Whelan Band.
