Highland Games return to Red Deer
The 68th annual Red Deer Highland Games are taking place this June.
The event is set to feature a number of athletics, highland dancing and piping and drumming competitions. The athletic events will include tossing the caber, putting the stone/open stone, tossing the sheaf, and throwing the weights for distance. There are both men's and women's divisions.
The highland dancing is an open competition, and those who wish to participate have until June 1st to apply.
There will also be a shortbread competition; the winner will win $100, while second place will receive $50 and third place $20. The shortbread must be submitted before noon on the day of the event. After the competition, they will be auctioned off to raise money for the Red Deer Food Bank.
In addition, vendors will be on hand to sell a variety of Scotland-related items and food. Vendor fees are $75 plus $25 for each additional table. The deadline to apply is June 12th.
