The Fergus Scottish Festival & Highland Games (our own home town games) has long been a valued member of the Scottish games tradition. From the Heavy Events, the dancing, the Tattoos, and of course the big pipe bands - in competitions as well as Mass Bands - we love it all. And this games has always been there. Since 1946, in fact. That's a long time. And the Grand Celtic Pipe Band would like you to know how much we appreciate their commitment to keeping the Arts of Scotland alive. Our kids love the games. Our parents and grand-parents love the games. And we love the spirit, the camaraderie, and the good friends we all make when we visit the games.
As a group, we would very much like you all to know that we value (very highly) the commitment that these volunteers have towards maintaining and promoting a venue that supports the continuation of a heritage that not many people participate in. Honestly, how many folks do you know that toss a caber, or dance a Fling, or pipe and drum in competitions? And so we thank them.
Visit their site and have a look. Just click on their logo. Oh... And as a secret, this year's event is being restructured to offer more and with more focus on what you want to see at a games - but that's a secret for now, and details will follow. Be sure to visit often to see what they have in store! And we'll see you in Fergus the second weekend in August.
