July 9th: Skagit Valley Highland Games

I never miss the opportunity to throw heavy things…at least not when it comes to the Highland Games! But it’s not just about strange Scottish Feats of Strength.

The Skagit Valley Highland Games is part of an annual circuit of Scottish competitions held in the Pacific Northwest and Lower Mainland of British Columbia. As such, the quality of performers in solo bagpiping and drumming competitions, bagpipe bands, fiddling, traditional Scottish athletics (the “heavy” events) and Scottish Highland dancing is at an extremely high level.

Get all the details about this fantastic cultural event held at Edgewater Park in Mount Vernon on Saturday, July 9th, 9am to 5pm.

Come enjoy the festivities, say hello, and ask me anything. Hot tip: you don’t have to wear a kilt. ;-)
