Christie was our Rose & Thistle Award winner for 2007.  She has instructed and managed the Tigh na Creige dancers for many years.  A top award winning dancer herself, she and her group perform in many venues, including a recent performance in conjunction with the Akron Symphony Orchestra.  She uses such opportunities to convey information about the Scottish Culture to those who are not familiar with it. Christie's father is the Chief of Clan Urquhart and she is the head of that clan in this area.  Christie and husband Tim have three daughters and a son, all involved with the art of Highland Dance.
