    It seems there are quite a few unknowing people who would otherwise enjoy going to the highland games. They would probably do well to advertise such events better.

    I'm sure they would appreciate your donation for advertising.

    Games organisers can only do so much, George. As someone who served on the board for our local games for three years, I can tell you budgets are small and the local media doesn't always cooperate in terms of publicity.

    speaking only for myself as a radio programmer and morning personality, Most radio stations would jump at most anything that will fill the PSA quota. TV can't do much because they are ususally too ridgid in their programming. And newspapers? Forget it!! But most radio stations I know would gladly do it for free. By-pass the suits in the front office and go straight for the on-airs. We have no highland games in this remote outpost. The closest is Spokane.
