Clan Ramsay Colorado at Scottish Festivals - 2022
In 2022 Clan Ramsay Colorado hosted at five major Colorado Scottish / Irish / Celtic festivals including the Colorado Tartan Day festival in Longmont in early April; the Pikes Peak Celt Fest north of Colorado Springs in mid-June; the Elizabeth Celtic Festival in Elizabeth, CO in mid-July; ; the Colorado Scottish Festival in Edgewater, CO in early August; and the Longs Peak Scottish-Irish Highlands Games in Estes Park in early September. We experienced enthusiastic crowds and met several new Ramsay / Ramsey persons, some becoming new members. Of note, Matthew Paul Ramsey has joined the Clan and even gone beyond the norm, participating fully with his family - wife Megan and three children - at all this year's festivals. We welcome you with open arms. Also in attendance through many of the events was Jesse Glover with wife Ginny Premo and daughter Anny, Steve and Michelle Williams, Tim Hale and family, Dennis Hurt and friends, Edward Ramsay Thompson, Jeanne Ramsay Babbit, Sheryl Ponzer, Cheryl Hessel, Amanda Hoard and family, Jessica Ramsay and family, James Clancy, and Rachel Keillor. Many of the Ramsay / Ramsey roots for these persons date to the early 1700s in America, but others from the latter arrivals from Scotland.
Weather was always a factor at all festivals this year including freezing temperatures and high winds of note, yet all endured and were happy to attend. Something about adversity breeds camaraderie and there was no lack of that through several tough times this year. Saliente and see you all in 2023 !!!

Clan Ramsay Colorado returns to Scottish Festivals - 2022
After a two-year hiatus, Clan Ramsay Colorado returns to the festival field - see Upcoming Events Tab. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Colorado festivals have found it difficult to impossible to open their events during the past two years. However, with a decreasing incidence of the Omicron virus, and a general reduction in serious future variant strains, a change of wind, heart, and popular opinion has led several festivals to finally re-open for the 2022 season. So far, as of this upgrade, the Colorado Tartan Festival in Longmont in early April and Longs Peak Scottish - Irish Highland games in September have encouraged clans to register. We suspect other festivals will fall in line as the year progresses. Let's hope we are finally out of the deep woods on this serious medical situation. See you at the festivals !!
