April 30th Triad Highland Games, Greensboro, NC

[Mark R]

Will be at the Triad Highland Games in Greensboro, NC on April 30th. Look forward to seeing some of you there.


The Triad Highland Games strives to bring Scottish culture to the Triad community. We bring bagpipes, dancing, Clans, Scottish heavy athletics, sword demonstrations, Gaelic, wrestling, military appreciation, pipe bands, living history, sheep dogs, and much more each year at Bryan Park in Greensboro, NC, USA.

Thanks for posting since, being a Wallace, and I see that Clan Wallace is the honored clan. I may be able to alter my travel plans to be there.

We were trying to get there, but it doesn't look good that we'll be able to.

After being on the road in our RV for 3 days from mid-Florida and being delayed waiting for the severe thunderstorms and tornados in GA to pass through. Crawled for several miles up I-75 passing through the destruction on both sides of the Interstate at Ringold, GA.

We are too tired to be leaving at 5:00 a.m. in order to get to the games in time for the Opening Ceremonies listed as 10:30 on the schedule posted on the web, not at Noon as other games I've attended. According to MapQuest Greensboro is 5 hours away from us where we just arrived late this afternoon in TN.

Our original plan was to arrive in TN on Sunday, but we changed it to arrive today so we could head for the Triad Games on Sat. Really wanted to be there since Clan Wallace is the honored clan, but just got other things to do in the morning after catching up on sleep before we leave for Raleigh area and wanted to be at the games on our way across NC. Guess we'll just be there in spirit.

The STM will have a tartan info booth set up, manned by a couple of our volunteers. I won't be there myself, as I have a wedding to attend this afternoon!
