Though we have not yet received the final gathering instructions, we are certainly participating in our tradition of walking in the Alexandria Scottish Christmas walk, Saturday, 5 December. I will send out specifics as soon as I have them, but for now, please sign up to walk (we need folks to carry flags and hand out flyers)....
The parade starts at 11am but lineup is much earlier - they will close the streets to all traffic NLT 10am - we usually line up as early as 9am. This time is spent getting to know other CSSM members and, weather permitting, the fiddlers and other street musicians have a good jam.
This website gives a more thorough description of the weekend's events for those who are unfamiliar:
