TARTAN DAY SCOTTISH FAIR - 4/14

Woody Allen observed that time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

But nature sets aside the rule of time on April 14, when the East Bay regional parks will present a cornucopia of colorful events and activities from which to chose.

For starters, there's the Tartan Day Scottish Fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 14, at Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont, sponsored by the park district and the East Bay Scottish Association.

Festivities will include Scottish dancing, bagpipes, handmade crafts, historic re-enactments, bagpipes, Highland athletic competitions, and did I mention bagpipes? Scottish clans and societies will share their heritage and culture; children will enjoy the Children's Glen. There will be Scottish food and drink for sale.

Ardenwood is at 34600 Ardenwood Blvd. Fee for the event is $10 for adults, $6 for seniors, $5 for children ages 4-17, and free for ages 3 and under. Parking is free. For information, call 510-544-2797.
