A new game coming to Oklahoma

[Kilted contractor]

The battle on 66 is in the works. It will be on aug 8th at the creek county fairgrounds. Admission price is $8 prepay or $10 at the gate. We will be having the adaptive class and all the other classes. I'm helping organize and host it plus will be competing in the adaptive class. The website is being set up and there is a Facebook page for it.

We are organizing and hosting a Highland game. Right now it will be what most American games offer but hopefully next year we want to offer more events like they do in Scotland. If you was asking about the adaptive class. It's a class for people with disabilities. This class hasn't been around long it started in 2017 and most games don't offer it. I currently compete with the masters 40+ group but am partially paralyzed and have 50k in metal in my back. The class will be a little nicer to my body.

Thank you, I thought it was probably a Highland Games with all the assorted goings on. But one can never be too sure.

At first I read that as kiloGRAMS, which of course meant there couldn't be any real competition at ALL, presuming you could even stand up for the first event!

Then I realized you meant $50,000, which brought up the issue of American vs. UK Health care, because at least at its best, the UK National Health Service would make the monetary expenditure irrelevant although the metal's very presence still a burden making your effort to support inclusiveness even more noble.

And, since we're talking health care expenditures, here's the Scottish NHS tartan, from which I'd like to have cloth for a kilt woven for my lovely retired RN spouse, but the tartan is restricted, and those restrictions make it not currently possible (or even desirable, since I think Lochcarron wove it only in 11 oz cloth):

(Disclaimer: I've never needed medical care in the UK, so I cannot comment on the claim that the tartan's color scheme features those in the uniforms of the Scottish NHS, nor can I comment intelligently about the merits of funding or organization of British/Scottish medical care, although I've been told that whenever someone who's risen to speak about medical issues in Parliament in London causes dismissive murmuring among his colleagues, the surest way to shut them up is to ask with a twinkle in his eye "so, would you advocate replacing it with what the Americans call a "system?" But, of course, I DID have many decades experiencing what was wrong AND right with medical care on my side of the pond).
