(It is a REALLY big state.)
We may know of OTHER games fairly close, though in a different state,

Fayetteville-> eastern NC, near the coast

Waxhaw-> right near Charlotte

Foothills-> Western, NC mountains

So, one should be relatively close.
For the future, there is an Andrews, NC games (western NC) in early Sept., which was 2.5 weeks ago. There are also SEVERAL games in the spring in various parts of NC.

I live in Winston Salem. I attended the games held here in the Spring. The information you have shared is very helpful. Thank you!

If you are near the Virginia border, The Richmond Highland Games are October 27 and 28 this year. Once again, Richmond is the site of the North American Highland Games Championship.

So . . .
Will we get to see you in Hendersonville (Foothills Games)?

The Hendersonville games are definitely a possibility. I need to look at my work calendar as weekends for pastors are very busy

; however, it sounds like a good opportunity to take a break with the family and possibly where one of my kilts for the first time. I'll let you know soon what we decide.
