The weather is still holding strong despite coming to the end of summer and it's GREAT cause there's still lots to do in the Foothills!

 

I spent Saturday outside, getting my tan on at the 2nd Annual Foothills Highland Games at the Foothills Composite High School in Okotoks.  There was so much to do and see!  Dance competitions went on throughout the day and all day...Highland dancing and Irish dancing.  The sound of bag pipes never died as competitors practiced and competed.  There were lots of vendors to check out and pick up some unique Scottish items.  And then, the fan favorite, the heavy events!  This was the first time I'd ever seen these events and they were so cool!  I was impressed with the amount of strength and precision these athletes demonstrated.

 

Make sure to check out the 3rd Annual Foothills Highland Games next summer!
