February 2009 was my first experience at a scaled down games held the first weekend of our Renaissance Faire. I then went to the games that were held in Zephyrhills, Sarasota & Dunedin, FL; the last games being April 5th. I was hooked from the beginning, wishing that I had asked my father about our history when he was alive (he passed in 1981).

So here I am, wanting to learn - better late than never. So keep me running to Google..........
Have a look at the past threads in the pictures section,"Stone Mountain" is one that springs to mind. You are confused? Worry not, so am I! I have never been to an American "games" so I had a real shock when I saw some of the pictures! Pirates? Chaps with all sorts of weaponry just wandering about? Ladies in all sorts of "Highland attire"?Period highland attire?Great kilts? Each to their own, but traditional Highland games, no way! But it all looks good fun.
