Scotland’s Americana day beaten by the wild wet By The Courier Reporter July 6 2015, 8:42am July 6 2015, 8:42am Share Scotland’s Americana day beaten by the wild wet Share via Facebook Twitter Linkedin Whatsapp Messenger Email Post link https://www.thecourier.co.uk/news/angus-mearns/207351/scotlands-americana-day-beaten-by-the-wild-wet/ Copy Link An Independence Day showcase of stateside-themed attractions was postponed on Saturday due to a summer downpour. Scotland’s Americana was due to feature horse-shoe throwing, Harley-Davidsons, hot rods and hot dogs in Padanaram near Forfar. But the field just off the A90 turned into a quagmire and “heartbroken” organisers reluctantly pulled the plug on the bash. Localised flooding struck in other parts of the county. The main road in Ferryden was closed and sandbags were put down in Ogilvie Terrace by Angus Council staff and firefighters at lunchtime. Firefighters remained on scene to assist with the clear-up operation after high tides and prolonged rain combined to cause misery.
