A new adventure in Florida harping; Florida Harpers and Friends teams with the Northeast Florida Scottish Games to present two days of harp activities.

Saturday began early with a harp circle followed by sanctioned Scottish harp competitions. The harp events conclude with performances by Nancy Bick-Clark and Frank Clark and Castlebay.

Sunday we returned to the grounds for a variety of workshops given by Castlebay, Nancy Bick-Clark, and Frank Clark and of course food and companionship.
