Green was the color of the Saint Joseph County 4H Fairgrounds on Saturday as the Celtic Festival filled the air with the sounds of bagpipes.
Participants, and even the referees, dressed in traditional Celtic clothing and took part in Scottish athletics.
And those kilts aren't just for decoration -- they tell a family's story.
"Everyone's kilts are their own tartan, which is their own family plaid. So everyone kind of learns about the other families and learns more about their lineage with our Scottish clan booths," explained festival organizer Jenny Walsh.
The eighth annual games also included Clydesdale horses and plenty of Celtic food and drink provided by Fiddler's Hearth.
