34TH ORILLIA SCOTTISH FESTIVAL - 2011

Insofar as there has been no representation by Clan Ross at an Orillia festival and no Scottish events have been posted at the major webboards for many years, our members believed that it had been cancelled. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 34 in Orillia evidently has fanned the faint embers each year to keep things alive.

The Ontario Massed Bands attracted a sufficient number of bands to hold its annual parade at noon on July 16, 2011, down Mississaga Street and along Centennial Drive into Couchiching Beach Park. Ed Swinton and Eldred Cook were in Orillia to celebrate their 61st Wedding Anniversary and attend the festival. They were just setting up their chairs to watch the parade, when Ed saw the Clan Ross tent which had been put up by Tom and Jo-Ann Carrothers. Eldred remarked that it was a successful gathering and Tom forwarded the location of the website for the festival. {We thank our President Andy for sending their photographs to us.]
