President's Message

Bill Rowe

Well that was quite a Saturday afternoon we just had at the festival!  Everyone did a great job in such bad conditions to make the weekend the best it could be.  We have had a few comments from customers in the office, some of thanks and some of other opinions, but we get them in good years as well so I think most people appreciate the effort that this organization put forward.

I would like to extend my personal gratitude to everyone for their extraordinary efforts displayed this weekend.  It is your never ending commitment and respect for the Fergus Scottish Festival that is so evident in these situations.  It's great to see so many people with that same commitment, not just this weekend, but throughout the year.

Again, I sincerely thank you all and hope to see every one of you with us again next year.
 


Thank You

Even though one day tried our patience, we really did a magnificent job.  From the folks who moved the dancers inside and continued the competition, to those who helped people find shelter during the downpour.

OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE TOPS and WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THEY DO FOR THE FESTIVAL.

The Friday evening tattoo was the usual fine show and Saturday morning went as scheduled.  Sunday was a really good day and everything went as planned.  Like everything else, there is always next year and we hope you all will be back again with the same gusto you gave us this year.

Letters to the Editor

For the best time!!!

My daughter, son, his girlfriend and I attended the festival for the first time this year.  We had a blast!!!!

My daughter and I are definitely coming back next year and we can hardly wait.  You and your volunteers put on a great show, excellent presentations and speakers and just all around fun!!!!

The Tattoo was moving and was a great opening to a wonderful weekend.

The rain was even part of the fun.  When my kids mentioned "We are still going?" I answered, sorry but it's true Scottish weather and was pleasantly surprised at how well attended even in the rain the festival was.

Excellent, excellent show.
Looking forward to next year!!!!

It Really Was Fun

".....We all enjoyed the weekend even if there was MUD everywhere -- you made the weekend happen.  You are professional and it certainly showed. ..."

What a Thrill!!!

Danielle Laing had a thrill of a lifetime when she had the poster that she designed and had printed for everyone to see, signed by Johnny Reid himself on the Thursday before the Festival kick off.
