    Yes it is without a break. The claim is that it is the longest continual running Highland Games in North America. The Scottish judge for the world team heavy games who was there suggested we may actually have the longest continual running games in the world since the ones in Scotland were not held during some of the war years. No idea about that but the plans for the 150th are already being made- it will be quite the event!
