			Glengarry Highland Games Maxville, Ontario
		
			
				
					A reminder that the Glengarry Highland Games in Maxville, Ontario, Canada are on this Friday and Saturday 1-2 August.  1,400 musicians have registered for the band competitions with famed fiddler Nathalie McMaster heading the entertainment.  Google Glengarry Highland Games for ticket info and the full schedule of events. This is your chance to dust off that caber and give it a whirl (or at least, encourage those who do)!
 Perhaps next year, we should shoot for an XMarks clan in the parade...

	I'll be at the games, sir, so I hope we can meet up! As for your suggestions about an xmarks clan in the parade, there's a rule prohibiting that, FYI. ...

					Nathan, you are bang on when it comes to the scale and quality of the band competitions at Maxville!
 Regret that other commitments won't make that possible, but enjoy yourself.
