    Highland Games this summer??

    What highland games will the locals be heading to this summer??
    I'll be competing in a few piping competitions at some of them as well as hosting a Stewart Society Table at Georgetown and Fergus this year and possibly a couple of others.
    We should try to organize a X marks type gathering somewhere.

    Anyone interested?

    I am hoping to get out to a couple, Georgetown is closest to me, would like to go but we tend to spend our weeeknds in Muskoka... so its tough to say which ones I will actually make it to.

    Cheers

    We usually end up milling around the Canadian Casual Kilts tent (MacHummel & Kilted Stuart) or the RKilts tent (Canuck).
    We then proceed to sell up their products to potential customers (which is easy enough - we're wearing them, after all) in exchange for shade and a place to sit down.
    I am easily moved for sympathy for dogs, far more so than for humans, because dogs do not understand. There is no way to explain that you will return, that the vet will make it all better, that they cannot go shooting today because that is not what today is about. They cannot work out that their misery is finite and will some time end, and so their misery is magnified.

    Georgetown games

    I will be in the Cameron tent at the Georgetown games next weekend. Apparently, several of you will be at Georgetown also ! Hope the weather is fine. See you for a wee dram.

    Not a local..but I'll be attending the Glengarry Highland Games this summer. My grandmother lives in Maxville, and my girlfriend and I drive up together for the games.
