Grandfather Mountain Highland Games

instead of arm band you get a clansman ribbon that's your weekend ticket to everything including parking near the field. there are higher packages with more ribbons and the chieftain packet includes several other perks... and as far as ribbons for tents they have clan competitions for best dressed tent and such... think they get ribbons and a games flag for display for the weekend. not sure of the official rules.

Anyone know details about the Bannockburn 2014 meeting that is supposed to take place at these games?

It is a fun game - about the size of stone mountain games but more music.
stay in Boone (it is worth the drive ) and it will rain -no doudt It is going to rain and be muddy - wear rubber boots
we went last year and it was a muddy mess .
have fun

Sounds good Thomas.

Well....it doesn't rain every year. But hey its the highlands so

.
I'm staying in banner elk at best Western. They may still have some rooms available not sure this close. But from there its only about 5 or so miles to grandfather. bring sunscreen for sure even if there are clouds you can still bring nicely there. And as you may have heard..really good music in the groves all day long if that's your thing.
