I went to the Highland Games in Fort Wayne Saturday with my daughter. It was hotter than Hades and no sooner did we walk through the gate than it started raining. It only lasted about 10 minutes and did nothing to cool things off. This has got to be the smallest one I ever attended. We used to go to Sarnia, just over the border into Ontario. That one was awesome and huge! Unfortunately they closed it a couple of years ago.

I am officially a member of Clan Stewart now. I’m not sure how meaningful that is since they don’t actually make you prove you are descended from the house of Stewart.

What I’d like to know is how do they decide what tartan to wear when they are the Fort Wayne Police dept?

This band I found someone I know in Fort Wayne, my furnace/ac repair guy. Who knew? My daughter says I should snatch him up, what more could you want than a kilt wearing, bagpipe playing, fellow who knows how to fix things? 🙂

In all my years of going to Highland Games, this is the first time I have ever seen a pitchfork throw. Who thought of that? Is it a Hoosier thing?

Hey, don’t be thinking this is what it actually looks like, here you can pretend to be a mighty log thrower!

I wanted to buy a couple of t-shirts but instead I stuck with this little souvenir…

It’s been a while since I’ve been to one of these and this was mighty small and hot but it was still a fun time 😉
