Because it was dark under the "Gazebo", it was hard to shoot photos.  (Click the photos for enlargements.)

Ceilidh - After the festival, we had a wonderful evening of dining and socializing, followed by  impromptu piping, singing and Highland dances.  The Omaha Pipes and Drums, Craig Hazelbaker and Willy Robison seranaded us with their pipes.  Morgan Hazelbaker performed a Highland Dance and Gordon Urquhart, and members of Wylde Nept joined in with songs.  Thanks to the Longbranch for providing us with space for our Ceilidh.

MANY THANKS! to the musicians, pipers, dancers, athletes, Clans, vendors, the HAGGIS Council and the wonderful VOLUNTEERS that all helped make CelticFest 2002 a success.  Thanks also to the staff of Ushers Ferry and Vicki Hughes for hosting us again this year.  And lastly, a big thanks to our sponsors, Cedar Rapids Toyota, The Longbranch Best Western, KHAK, KDAT, KRNA, 3rd Street LIVE, and the Yorkshire Rose for their support.
