Duke Thompson:
Hello Everyone,

The 2009 North East Florida Highland Games will be in Jacksonville, FL at the Clay County Fairgrounds on Saturday February 28th.  This is a one-day event, Saturday only.  I am waiting for confirmation that we will have a Clan Thompson Society tent at the games, but that is the intent.  I will keep everyone posted.  My son Taylor and I will be there!!!

Duke Thompson:
Let this post confirm that the Clan Thompson Society will be in attendance at the 2009 North East Florida Highland Games - and we should have a great tent location!!!

John ThomsonHollingsworth:
Have a great time Duke
Mary and I will be at LaBelle Swamp Cabbage Festival its an annual event here.
Can;t wait to get some Swamp Cabbage Fritters,  gator tail and Seminole Indian fry bread

BTW  Swamp Cabbage is also known as Hearts of Palm to many.

Mary:
Yay! Thanks Duke - I know working a table is a chore, but you do get to do a lot of meeting/greeting and a chance to let other Thom(p)sons know what we are all about and that we HAVE a history!  And, a plus of working a tent is that you have a place to sit down!

Don't forget your camera............ are John and Sarah going to be able to make it, Duke?

Swamp cabbage......I think my tummy would do less of a flip-flop thinking "heart of palm." I learned to make Indian fry bread (soapapillas) from some Navajo friends when I lived in Arizona some 35 years ago.  I don't know if it's the same, but it should be close.... they were still making it in clay home-made ovens on flat rocks!

Duke Thompson:
Thanks guys, I did leave a message for John and Sarah but have not heard back.  Will call John tomorrow.  Confirmed again today that all is in place for the games in Jacksonville, FL.  Come if you can!!!
