HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Ever wondered what Scottish and Celtic history is all about? Or whether or not your ancestors were part of a clan?
The Middle Tennessee Highland Games are this weekend, and they will teach you everything you need to know and then some. It's at Sanders Ferry Park in Hendersonville on Saturday, September 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, September 8 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
With band competitions, solo pipers and drummers and bagpipes, Celtic games and crafts, athletic competitions like Stone Put and Caber Toss, and all kinds of tents with clan histories attached, this festival has all the Scottish tradition you can imagine.
There are 60 clans that come to the festival. It's held every year to help preserve and celebrate these Scottish and Celtic traditions. Plus, for the first time this year there is also a Highland Dance competition on Saturday.
You can purchase tickets online.

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
