2009 Stone Mountain Highland Games

**HeathBar** · 17th September 09, 12:20 PM

I haven't seen a thread for this yet and its only a month away. My wife and I will be there hosting a tent for Clan Barclay. This will be our first time there as both visitors and tent convenors. I know that we have several xmarkers who attend and work these games, so go ahead let it be known if you will be there. We are traveling with one of the dogs so I will be staying in a pet friendly hotel about 25 miles from Stone Mountain. I wish I could camp there, but I don't think I could with the dog.

All I've heard since I've been involved in Highland Games is that I must go to Stone Mountain. So finally I'm getting a chance to go. What should I expect as a tent convenor there?

I'll see you there. I usually make it down for at least one day. If the weather is nice (which in October it usually is great) it will be great with a lot of crowds. If the weather is not nice, it will be the same only wetter

Try to make some time to take a hike around the mountain on the Cherokee Trail. It's a nice 6 mile stroll and it gets you off the roads and away from the crowds.

I can't say what to expect as a convenor, but you can expect to see the Mrs. and me at your tent. And if a certain other member of your clan is there, he'd better keep his paws off of you-know-what.

That sounds nice, but I doubt I will have the time. Maybe if we come down for just a visit.

I'll let him know you're delivering it.

I'm looking at maps of the park. Where in the park are the games held?

And for those of you visiting the Museum tent, bring your wallets! Matt always brings a lot of amazing stuff.

For the record, I will be there on Saturday and bringing a newbie with me who has never worn the kilt or even thought about highland games... Ought to be a good time.
