What is a Scottish Game? Why…
Bernards Township, NJ – June 3, 2006 – It’s Pipers and Drummers and lots of Bagpipe Bands. It’s Border Collies herding sheep. It’s Highland Dancers by the score. It’s singers and re-enactors! It’s classic cars on exhibit!
It’s big brawny men doing Highland Athletics like tossing cabers (sorta like throwing a telephone pole), sheath toss and weight throws! It’s vendors selling treasures from Scotland! It’s Fish ‘n Chips, Birdies and Meat Pies…
And most importantly… It’s great Family Fun! Where can you enjoy all this? At the 20th Anniversary of the Bonnie Brae Scottish Games at the Bonnie Brae School, Liberty Corner, New Jersey on Saturday, June 3, 2006, from 9am until 5:30pm. A portion of the proceeds from this event benefits Bonnie Brae.
