Ocala Scottish Festival

The Ocala Festival has a new Turnbull tent and tent host. It went over very well and the local Turnbulls and Trimbles were pleased. Robert Scott Turnbull (Rob) has wanted to do a tent for several years but funds being limited his dream was put on hold.

This year (November 8 & 9 ) he received assistance from a TCA member, who acted as his patron, provided the money for his tent space fee. With the help of John W. Turnbull, the tent went up and everyone had a wonderful time, the weather was beautiful. a typical warm sunny Florida day.

If anyone is interested in helping our regional tent hosts, who bear their own expenses in setting up these Turnbull Tents, please contact Wally Turnbull at 919-824-6111 (wally@tbull.com).

Clan Turnbull International at
Stone Mountain Games in Georgia

“CTI made their annual visit to the Stone Mountain Highland Games.  The weather was great, and we had the best of times. We got to see so many people that we have as friends, members, or just general acquaintances it was a ball of fun. Wally and Betty Turnbull from TCA came to visit with us and we had a lovely time seeing them again. Terry Trimble from Nashville, TN came with his twin sons Michael and Aaron. Which is which?? I don’t know but they are both very nice young men and it was a joy to see them again.

Also as a side note, we had an official from the games tell us that we were in a tight running for the best clan tent, although we didn’t win first, second isn’t bad for a games so large.”

I wanted to make everybody aware the Beth Gay, (Odom Library) editor to the Family Tree newspaper, had a heart attack within the week before the Stone Mountain games, she wrote to us and said she is doing well and she should recover fully, which is an answer to a lot of prayers.” 

“Thank you to all that showed up and we can’t wait to do it all again next year.”
