Games for Upstate NY

[emeraldfalconoflight]

Are their any Highland Games schedualed for November in Upstate NY, I missed the one here in Stone Mountain GA. I didnt find out it was here until it was over.

I don't know of any that late.

The Central New York Games are Aug. 13 in Liverpool, near Syracuse and the Capital District Games are Labor Day weekend in Altamont, near Albany.

There are summer games in Amherst (Buffalo) and in Letchworth State Park, but those are already over, I believe.

There are summer games in Amherst (Buffalo) and in Letchworth State Park, but those are already over, I believe.

The Letchworth event was held a few weeks ago. Don't know when Buffalo's is held.

Why is the month of November important? In Upstate the weather is pretty bad in November (snow is pretty usual) and wouldn't be ideal for competition.

Central NY Games - Aug 13th Syracuse NY

Amherst Games- Saturday Aug 20th Amherst (north of Buffalo)

I will be attending both. It will be my 2nd time to Syracuse Games. 4th time for Amherst Games (one building is airconditioning - it helps sometimes with the heat- due to lack of shade).

I do not think there is one in November in this area. Towards the end of September there is the Celtic Classic in Bethlem PA, 3 days of great craic, and its free. I have been to that one 3 times.. missed last years. I am planning to go.

It KILLS me to miss that, but miss it I will. My wife's company is sponsoring a family day at an amusement park in Lake George on the same day.

I hope to be at the Hunter Mountain Celtic Festival on Aug. 20 or 21, and at the Capital District Scottish Games on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend.

I'll be at Syracuse tomorrow, too. I'd love to meet any of you who are coming to the games! You can find me with the Mohawk Valley Frasers Grade 4. Red kilts - Modern MacGillivray.

cheers!
