Super pics; looks like a good time had by all. Some of the Scottish highland games would do well to hold their events around this time of year. After a season of incessant rains through May, June, July right up till the third week in August, the last couple of months have been mainly fine sunny weather which would have been ideal for outdoor activities such as Highland Games but for the fact the Scottish Highland Games season finished as early as 9th September.

Actually, the rain last week was the first measurable amount we've had in months. The reservoirs are still dangerously low, and water restrictions are still in effect, so the rain was welcome. The old fairgrounds, where the Richmond festival was held, had some muddy spots, but were still mostly dry. Sunday was a bit cold, but the festival was still enjoyable. The highlight of the day(Sunday) for me was seeing and hearing Needfire play. To me, they had a sound somewhat similar to 7Nations, only better. And, to Ron, the Richmond games are a relatively new thing. They weren't going on when you lived in Richmond.
