WRAP UP - 2007 B. C. HIGHLAND GAMES & SCOTTISH FESTIVAL2008 Piping/Drumming/Pipe Band Entry Form is now available.Thanks to the great weather and community support, the 76th Annual B. C. Highland Games & Festival were a wonderful success. Approximately 8,000 people came out to enjoy outstanding piping, dancing, drumming, heavy events & of course, the pipe bands.. The entertainment on the main stage appealed to all ages. We had the Alexander Brothers from Scotland who performed the old traditional songs we all know and love. The younger crowd enjoyed John Mann, Geoffrey Kelly and Rob Menzies from Spirit of the West. Also on the main stage were Scottish Country Dancers, Mike Battie, Steven McWhirter and a saxophone solo by 91 year old Andy Arnott who has been entertaining our local Scottish folk for many years. The wee ones had lots of fun in the Children's area. Others enjoyed the whisky tasting, British car show, sheep dogs and beer tasting. A huge thank you to our sponsors: Zoom airlines, Global Friends of Scotland, West Coast Express, Westminster Savings, The Bread Garden, Boulevard Casino, 24 Hours, and Van City Savings. Thanks too, for all the support from our friends at The Celtic Connection. Finally, we must say a very special "Thank You" to our organizing committee and to the many hard working volunteers. Without these people, the B.C. Highland Games would not happen. Remember, the last Saturday of every June is Games day. See you next year!
