At Last! Quaich Details Announced

With only 7 months until Quaich 2020 in Rosemary Beach, Florida, the Host Committee has been scrambling to organize an event worthy of the celebrated history of the Quaich.  The idea of pearlescent white sand beaches, turquoise waters and lush private golf courses in exclusive Rosemary Beach seemed almost too good to be true.  As the weeks went by without details, anxious fans began wondering if this could be turning into the Fyre Festival of Quaichs, where the marketing was bigger than the reality.  

"I dunnae wanna brag," said Ronald "Wee Ronnie" Denholm, who chaired the Quaich 2018 Host Committee. "But we were transparent and provided all event details a full year prior."
