Each year, the Foothills Highland Games are held within earshot of our house. We awake to the sound of bagpipes, and enjoy cannon fire at breakfast. I must admit it puts a smile on my face. When commitments allow, we walk over and peruse the tents, eat the food, watch the dancers and athletes, and more often than not, watch a bold sheep succeed in his run for freedom, dog in pursuit! It makes for a fine day.
I love the tagline on this product: “We guarantee to make any bag airtight which is not actually burst.”
The heavy events are tests of strength and power. The hammer throw, weight throw, weight over bar, the sheaf toss and of course, the caber toss. Great fun.
