SUMMARY:McMinnville Scottish Festival
DESCRIPTION:Clan Farquharson will be in attendance\nMcMinnville Scottish Festival .. We’re putting the “Mac” back in McMinnville\nMcMinnville has grown to be an internationally recognized city in the heart of Willamette Valley known best for its small town main street, and its place in the rich Willamette Valley wine industry, early UFO sightings, and the resting place of the Hercules (Howard Hughes’ Spruce Goose).\nWith all this attention it seems few have pondered why it bears the name of McMinnville? Did anyone of importance in city history have that name? Are there Scottish or Irish roots?\nAs it turns out, no one in the city’s history was named McMinnville. The city’s founder William T. Newby (1820–1884), an early immigrant on the Oregon Trail, named the city after his hometown McMinnville, Tennessee. He must have cared for his home quite a bit to establish a city across the country with the same name.\nMcMinnville does indeed have Scottish roots; however, McMinnville, Tennessee was named after Governor Joseph McMinn (1758-1824). His grandfather, Robert McMinn (1690-1757) emigrated from his home in Perth, Scotland, to make a home in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.\nBy importing the name of his hometown, William Newby intentionally, or unintentionally, brought a bit of Scotland to our city, McMinnville.\nThe Celtic Heritage Alliance builds on that Scottish connection and brings the “Mac” back in McMinnville with the McMinnville Scottish Festival! Join us at the Yamhill County Fairgrounds.\nLooking to lend a hand and experience the festival in a whole new way? Our volunteers love helping out at the McMinnville Scottish Festival, and a huge number return to volunteer year after year. You get to work alongside some great people, and there are some pretty great perks that go along with it! If you’re interested in volunteering for the festival, watch our website and social media pages for sign-up announcements!\n
