The Scottish Society of the Waxhaws invites you to attend
The 29th Annual Waxhaw Scottish Games
on SATURDAY, October 25, 2008

When clans gather in the Waxhaws, if you did not know better you will think you are in the Scottish country side!

The Games incorporate an amazing venue with a beautiful landscape overlooking the loch on Cane Creek with the tradition of centuries old competition and heritage.

You will enjoy cheering on the heavy athletes with their skills of tossing the caber and throwing the Scots hammer, the excitement of watching the young highland dancers with their skills of many different dances from the fling to the sailor’s hornpipe and listening to solo pipers or bands playing their marches, strathspeys and reel's along with the classical music of the bagpipes the
Piobaireachd.

In addition, we have incorporated a merchant village for those who are skilled in the many varieties of craftwork along with children’s amusements it surely is an event and a great day out for all the family.
