Where in 'sconi were these highland games, and do you know if they'll be held again this year?

I'm right next door in minnesota, and it sounds like something fun.

Jay:
Go to wisconsinscottish.org               

The games are held at the Waukesha county fair grounds. The archery area was open to practice all day and the shoot took two hours or so in the afternoon. i was only there for one day but i think they did it on two days. it was fun. they grouped the archers in longbow and re curve categories for scoring, and gave out medals of the "quilted badger" for the best scores. some folks were in their Scottish costumes, I'm German so you'll never get me in a kilt. lol  :D Unless my wife digs it  ;) I would say there were 15 archers the day i was there.

They let you shoot what you brought. No cams or wheels. Just informal fun.  :D Between practice and the competition there was a short demonstration... they shot through a car door. ;D there was a place on the grounds for little ones to try archery. i didn't make it overthere. i was having tooooo much fun launching arrows down range.
