Alan Normand with the Highland Games provides a preview for the July 1st event. "The general four pillars of the games that we talk about and that would be the highland dancing throughout the day, pipe bands and mass pipe bands, the tug of war competition, and the heavy events."
Normand details how this is a great place to bring the whole family. "They've also expanded the we are calling it the wee highlanders play area, which is on the main field, that's for all the kids, and there'll be a variety of different things."
