As a former member of the HHGA board, I can vouch for what Z has stated, but it goes beyond the HHGA. It has always been difficult to get dedicated volunteers as well as any type of support from the city. Location is important, so trying to centralize the games within the city of Houston is VERY expensive. The city doesn't provide free park space like some of the smaller Texas towns provide their Highland games. I was once on a committee with TriolaMJ to find a new site, and we found a good place, but even the owners of this place, which shall remain nameless, ignored some of their contractual commitments. This cost HHGA some money.
The HHGA and the Houston Highland Games & Celtic Festival are not dead. I'm hopeful we will have the games in 2012.
