Men in kilts, throwing trees--what's not fun about that. The Capital Region Scottish Games, the annual two day festival of all things Scottish, is at the Altamont Fairgrounds this weekend. There's Celtic music, a pipe band competition. food, and a caber toss. Sat. $15, Sun. $10. Under 12 -free.

Hey look, cowboys!
