From: Indianapolis Scottish Highland Games and FestivalThanks to the hard work of our games chairs Greg Bowers and Rebekah Lawson the location will be at the Marion County Fairgrounds. The board made the unanimous vote on this matter after being presented the hard work, research and the number of volunteers / volunteer groups already in place.
Highland Athletics
Caber, sheaf, hammer, stone put, weight-over-bar -- the heavy events are what make Highland athletics unique. These events originated from great gatherings held by Highland clans in medieval times where chieftans selected their strongest warriors to compete and inspire others. Some say the games may have even pre-dated Scotland itself!
Entertainment
Pipe bands, traditional and modern celtic bands, dancers, and a talented cast of actors presenting the Scottish Royal Court - all working in concert to bring a lively cultural experience ye'll nae be forgettin.
The tastes
Guests who are of legal age are welcome to come learn about (and sample) fine Scottish whisky. Take in the stories of distilleries and learn about how Scotland's famous Uisge Beatha (water of life) is made and how it may be best enjoyed - with all your friends from the Scottish Society of Indianapolis of course!
