Remembering;

Bob Laird; of Clan Lindsay passed the morning of September 3rd.

Hal Burdick; August 21st was a sad day for our S.C.O.T. family.  Longtime Scottish Club member Hal Burdick passed away.  Hal will be missed as he was and always will be remembered as one of the biggest supporters and proponents of the club and of Scottish culture.

Corey Bon Hall was born June 21st, 1986 in Corpus Christi, TX.  The son of Von and Angela Hall and brother of Caleb Sean Hall, Corey was a member of the SCOT Club as a child. He was a longtime and regular visitor to the Oklahoma Scottish Festival and in recent years was proud to bring his daughter Charli, age 5.  Those who knew him remember his generous nature, protective spirit, and awesome smile and sense of humor.  Corey passed away September 16, 2010, just one day before last year’s festival start.  He was buried in proud Scottish tradition wearing his kilt to his cousin Colton Hall piping.

World’s Largest Kilt to be made of Blackwatch Tartan!  This tartan is used by Scotland’s Black Watch (Royal Scottish Regiment), an elite military regiment whose history stretches back almost three centuries.

The public unveiling of the Kilt itself will follow in mid-September, the week prior to the Oklahoma Scottish Festival.  As an added attraction for all those who donate, all the names of the people, societies, clubs or clans etc who have donated will be entered into a book that will be displayed wherever the Kilt is, so they can come and see themselves in print as being part of a World Record event.  Additionally, corporate sponsorship is available and encouraged, any donation of $500.00 will have their name or logo on the kilt AND receive a free Corporate Table, 30 passes and $100 to spend at the Corporate Ceilidh!

The funds raised for TSG&G Inc will be used towards sponsorship of Scottish cultural events, including our own Oklahoma Scottish Festival (which is 32 years old this year!) and a donation will be made to the Wounded Warrior Project and the Help For Heroes Charity.
