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.
