If you can’t wait that long, there’s special getaways starting this weekend with the Gathering of the Clans at Camp Russel, a celebration of Celtic culture.
There’s gonna be music. It’s gonna be like a big party. We tried it last year and it was a big success. Lots of people came. We had a great time.
