Welcome from Oregon.
My Dad was born in Ohio, Elyria.
I was born nearby, in Beloit, Wis.
I SOMETIMES miss all the snow.

beowulf67 do you get to Ohio at all to compete?

I was going to ask if that might be Tundra! I've heard about those games but never been.
I've never made it to Ohio, yet. I've been to the Western Kentucky games a few times, and met some guys from Ohio there before. I'm hoping this coming year I'll get to compete more and maybe travel to some new places. Which games would you recommend?

Do you ever get down to Kentucky or Tennessee?

beowulf67,

I have yet to do any traveling for the games out of Ohio mainly because of money. The two big games here are the Ohio Scottish Games which is the largest, and brings pros like Ryan Vierra in to compete, and The Great Lakes Medieval Festival in Geneva, Ohio. I have not been to the Great Lakes games yet, but will try to get into it this year. My next step is to go into Pennsylvania and try and get into some of those games like Ligonier and (dare I dream

) someday the Celtic Classic.

HT,
Any chance to see Ryan Vierra throw is worth it!
We have a festival in Huntsville, AL in June and we get 5 or 6 pros to throw there. Ryan's never been but we still have some good performances.

To get to most games, I have to travel on Friday and take time off work, so that limits what I can do. But hopefully I'll be getting to a few more games this year. I totally suck at throwing, but I love it.
