The seed for this trip was planted by Canadian singer/songwriter David Francey who, during his first Milwaukee show, offhandedly recalled playing a festival in "Maxville". Francey seemed to be saying that his quiet music may have been out of place amidst all the bagpiping. This was enough of a hint to send Bill/Lou to the internet, where he discovered that Maxville is a small Canadian village just North of the "point" at the top of New York state. And for the last 60+ years it's been the site of the annual Glengarry Highland Games, and the pipe band championships of North America.
Gabe & Bill/Lou made the trip in August 2006 to check out the Games.
