Highland fete close to home
With reference to Christianne Sharman’s piece in the Sunday Travel Section about the Highland Games at Enumclaw July 24-26, it should be noted that you don’t have to cross the state to go to a Scottish festival.
The Spokane Highland Games will take place Aug. 1 at the Spokane County Fair & Expo Center, starting at 9 a.m. We also have pipe bands, athletes throwing heavy things, including trees (aka cabers), Celtic music and dancing, and lots of other exhibitions showing off Scottish culture.
