This event is well worth the trip from Oregon, and certanly from anywhere in Washington. The event is held in Ferndale, just north of Bellingham. The event site is an 1800's working farm and provides an excellent venue. A large number of pipe bands from Canada really gives it that something extra. The event is two days now and plan on being there for both , as there is planty to see.
