        <ExplanationTxt>Part 1.10 Grants and Similar Amounts Paid-Donations were made to other non-profit groups that donated their time to the 36th Annual Tucson Celtic Festival and Scottish Highland Games in 2022. Pat 1.16 Other Expenses- Other expenses included Insurance, Athletic Equipment, Athletic &amp; Kid Highland Games Trophies, Giveaway &amp; Contest Expenses, festival supplies and decorations, supplies for volunteers, and administrative and Annual General Meeting expenses. To Whom It May Concern: I apologize for the tardiness in filing this return. I was having difficulty determining how to handle In-Kind Trade donations in QuickBooks and finally found a solution to account for it. I know it is highly important that we account for these items in our return as Tucson Celtic Festival Association is now doing significant in-kind trades.
