Here are some more photos. Mike had a better camera, so I hope he posts some of his too.

Some scenes from the heavy objects department:



Throwing things
In the distance, you can see the tents where the various bands have assembled.


Measuring
In the distance far right here, you can see where the solo pipe competitions were held - away from the bands.


Large and in charge
It was very muddy.

Really. I almost expected a bout of mud wrestling to break out.


The laid-back announcer and the officials tent


There was a sheep (and duck) herding demonstration:






The exhibitor explained that you rarely see the herd dogs in pictures
because they are behind the flock. Maybe, but here it's because I didn't
frame the photo correctly and tripped the shutter too soon.

There will be a few more scenes to follow.
