Governor Mitt
Romney signed the Massachusetts District Tartan Bill
(H627) into law this day. This law designates the
Bay State Tartan as the official Commonwealth of
Massachusetts District Tartan. Also signed into
law was (H2528), which state there shall be an annual
Tartan Day in the Commonwealth to be observed on April 6
of each year, to coincide with National Tartan Day,
which celebrates the contributions of Scots and
Scots-Americans to the creation and prosperity of
America. With this, the Commonwealth welcomes the
opportunities Tartan Day offers as a vehicle for
strengthening economic, social and cultural links
between the Commonwealth and Scotland. Picture

Bob Keith was Clan Keith representative, but forget to
bring his tent poles. Ooops. He 'made do' by
staking the tartan banner next to his Keith file box,
which proceeded to fill with water. It rained all
day, but many stayed until the 'after' ceilidh ended.
Pictures anyone?
