Yesterday I attended the 30th anniversary of the North Texas Irish Festival on the fairgrounds. This is a great place to go if you love seeing men in kilts! There is an Irish National Tartan (green and orange of course), many wore their blue and green tartan kilts, but many Irish men prefer the Utilikilt. There may be some people that scorn and laugh and call it a "skirt", but it is only a skirt if you're wearing panties!
There were booths set up of vendors selling kilts and all the accessories that go with it, plus swords and knives. Also a lot of jewelry, t-shirts and women's clothing. There were several beer booths selling of course Guinness, Beamish (like Guinnes but with coffee), Murphy's Irish Stout, Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale and my favorite Crispin Hard Cider.
They also had several dog rescue missions there with the Irish Wolfhounds (my favorite), Irish Setters, Border Collies, Yorkies and a couple others.
They allow pets so it was a good day to bring your pet out. I got to wear me new kilt and spend time with my friends.
I've been here almost 16 years and this was my first time attending!
See... there is so much of Dallas I have yet to discover.

and don't YOU look handsome there!
A man in a kilt looks great to me! Actually thought about getting married in one - but decided on a suit instead :)
The one in the running shoes probably took a lot of heat for that. If you're going to wear a kilt, wear it the proper way.
fine lads, all !
looks like scotland style
That reminds me: I need a belt for my utilikilt.
