Anyone going to these? October 1, 2011 in Laurinburg, NC I'll be manning the MacRae tent if anyone wants to get together.

How big a shindig is it?

I'm not really sure how big it is. The old Flora MacDonald Highland Games in Red Springs, NC, went by the wayside a few years ago. These folks (who are right down the road, so to speak) started these games to keep alive something in the area. This part of southeastern NC has an incredibly high population of Scottish descendants, but historically not many folks into "Scottish-American" culture. I believe this is the third year for this event. I've not been in the past, but I plan to go this year.

I'll see if I can.

Hopefully get to finally meet some members on this site.

Here, Self, is the answer:
11 'pipe bands, so far
36 clan/organization tents
18 vendors
'piping and drumming competitions
heavy athletics

and some more stuff

Hmmm, the Mrs. and I might just have to jaunt down to Laurinburg.
