Dreary skies couldn’t dampen the spirits at the 48th annual Scottish Christmas Walk Parade, the signature event of the Scottish Walk Weekend of events benefitting the Campagna Center. Scottish clans sported their tartans as the sound of bagpipes filled the air from traditional pipes and drums marching units. Scottish dancers, reenactment groups, Scottie dogs, dignitaries, classic cars and Santa Claus braved the rain to carry on the parade tradition and support the early childhood programs of the Campagna Center.
