Nancy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Published on: Thursday, Oct 20, 2005 Harnett celebrates Scottish heritage By Amneris Solano Staff writer BUIES CREEK - The campus of Campbell University will come alive with a "Wee Bit of Scotland" this weekend. The university and the Harnett County Sesquicentennial Committee are sponsoring the celebration, which honors the county's Scottish heritage. The event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the campus in Buies Creek. Activities include demonstrations of Highland games such as the caber toss and the hammer throw, Scottish dancers, clan tents and vendors. A booth will be set up to help people trace their Scottish roots. Jennifer Licko, a noted Celtic singer and dancer, is scheduled to perform as well as the Cross Creek Pipes & Drums. "We're really excited about it," said Al Bain, chairman of the county's sesquicentennial committee. "We want it to be an informative event for the people of this area." Harnett County turned 150 years old in February. The county has been celebrating its anniversary with a variety of events all year. Other activities include a beard-growing contest, guided historic tours across the county and the production of a Paul Green play this fall. At 7 p.m. Saturday, the county has scheduled a Harvest Ball at the Harnett County Courthouse. Tickets are $25 in advance. Guests are encouraged to wear period garb from 1855. The "Wee Bit of Scotland" celebration is taking place alongside Campbell University's homecoming. The Scottish festival is a salute to the area's Highland ancestors who traveled up the Cape Fear River in the mid-1700s to settle in Harnett, Moore and Cumberland counties. At 10:30 a.m. Sunday, "The Kirking of the Tartan," a community worship service, has been scheduled at the university. The service consists of people wearing kilts and holding tartan flags that represent Scottish families. The families will be led into the worship service by a bagpiper. The Rev. Ian Rankine, a Presbyterian minister who is from Scotland, will conduct the service.
