Yesterday was the 2nd Annual Foothills Highland Games in Okotoks and what a successful event it was!

 

Taking place at the Foothills Composite High School, the games covered the entire football field with fun activities for the whole family.  Highland and Irish dance competitions were non-stop on the main stage and the sound of bagpipes never died.  There were tons of vendors spread throughout the field selling unique Scottish novelty items and treats.  And then, there was the fan favorite, the heavy events happening on the far side of the field.  These athletes sportsmanship and athleticism was impressive.  Not only must they be incredibly strong, but they must also demonstrate good technique.   

 

Make sure to watch for the 3rd Annual Foothills Highland Games next summer.
