    Thanks for the advice. You have confirmed my plans. I think we've decided on three stations. Open Stone, Braemer, and WFD at one station. The second station will be the WFH, and then the last station will be the Hammer. Since the WFH station will take longer as the height goes up, we thought we'd put all the distance events at one station. The hammer I wanted all by itself so there wouldn't be a large crowd. I don't have a backstop in case someone loses control. Also, since we're short on time and this isn't an actual Highland Games, we might change the rules to only allow two throws per event.

    As far as the caber. I have a 16' caber, but it's pretty heavy. I'll try and take it this weekend and shave it down some. We'll use that as a "if you want to try it you can under supervision" type event.

    We'll have 12 competitors trying for the Commander's Cup before noon. Then after lunch we'll open it up to anyone who wants to compete.

    We're also thinking about having Friday afternoon practices each week until the Org Day. That should make things easier.

    Let me know if you will be around the Central Virginia area on 11 June. I'll talk to the Entertainment committee at the meeting next week. If you have any details on how you usually make your money, let me know. This isn't your typical Highland festival crowd. Lots of 9 pound brains and their families, so CD and Tshirt sales might be kind of weak. Personally, I think it would be awesome!! But that's just me.
