On April 9th, 150 guests were entertained and well fed while supporting the upcoming 30th Anniversary of the New Brunswick Highland Games Festival. The halls and ballroom of the Delta Fredericton echoed with the music of the Highlands as guests celebrated the first “official” Tartan Day at the 7th Annual Celtic Gala. The 2011 edition of the New Brunswick Highland Games will be held July 22nd - 24th on the beautiful grounds of Government House, in Fredericton.
