Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville Ontario - July 29, 30, 2016

More than 50 Pipe bands will be competing this coming Friday & Saturday at one of the largest Highland Games in the Province of Ontario.  If you live in the Northeast USA and want to spend a great weekend steeping yourself in all things Highland Scottish, you'll find yourself richly rewarded by attending these great Games.  You can read all about what is in store by going to the website of the Glengarry Highland Games at this URL:

Hope to see you there!

I'll also post this to the NE Forum.

Robert

Sounds like fun, it would be a good relief to the heat in Texas

The forecast is for a high of 27C on both days, Steve, so it would probably feel quite comfortable to you, methinks!

Temp sounds wonderful as it will be 37C here (Calif) today. By the way my daughter was in Galveston 2 weeks ago. She said she was "crunchy" from the sweat. Just my luck I will be in Toronto in August. I wish people would plan weddings better for all.

The results of the solo and band competitions have been posted for the above Games and you can see them all at this URL:

ppbso.org/glengarry-highland-games-8

I watched a band from Albuquerque, one from Manchester, Conn. and one from Dunedin, Fla at one time or another today. You can see where each of them placed in the various categories, if you are interested. I actually was able to video each of the above bands either practicing before their performance or during it.

There were a number of Clan displays present, but unfortunately, no Lamont Clan display. I took a still photo of each of the Clan displays, which were located under cover inside two of the cattle barns which are used at the Maxville Fair. The barns were relatively new and clean.

I was not able to get into the Grandstand to be able to video the athletic competitions or the massed bands as all the Grandstand tickets had been sold earlier in the day.
