I realize this is very short notice, but Clayton, GA is hosting their 2nd annual highland games tomorrow. This is a charity event and just getting started. We will be going up for the day. The event is titled as the North Georgia Highland Games for Charity. You can learn more about it at the link below.

How were the games? Hated we couldn't make it up but I certainly plan on blocking the dates next year.

The games were of course small, (second year,) but well organized. I am told the first year they had representation from two clans, this year there were eleven. Athletic events were well attended with both professional and amateur athletes. Two food vendors, a beer tent, and some local crafts folks selling their wares. Lots of friendly people of course. I look forward to going again next year and seeing the progress.
Cheers,

David

Either can work, though 285 can be ugly at that time on a Saturday. Iron Horse is timewise about the same distance from the mountain as the Conyers Tavern. Finally reached Jim,
he probably won't make Friday night but hopes to make the games. I wrote this post last week, but it doesn't seem to be on the thread, so here's an edited version. And since
Murray's group are doing 2 PM, maybe we could shoot for 1:30 at the Museum booth or at the tartan forest just before or just after the K&C photo. Maybe some cross-pollination?

Sounds good to me, the "Traditional Kilters" facebook group has already lumped in for a meet-up at the same time.

And are we planning on the Friday night revelry? Does that still happen at The Celtic Tavern in Conyers?

I look forward to my husband Chris getting to finally meet y'all, and he has his kilt ready! We are very excited, especially since I haven't been since 2019. Can't wait to hear who all is coming.

Iron Horse in Duluth Friday night? Kilts or nae?

**Wareyin** · 19th October 23, 05:03 PM

I will be at the games Saturday! I should be able to make a 1-2ish picture, but I will not be up for driving out Friday evening, sadly. If I lived on that side of town...

The K&C and Trad Kilters groups are meeting at the tartan forest at 2pm (Sat and Sun). Do you guys want to meet up there at the same time or at the Tartan Museum Tent at like 1/1:30 (Sat only due to tartan parade on Sunday)?
