    More Pleasanton Highland Games Photos

    This was only our second Highland Games and it was a BLAST! The Pleasanton Games are huge and as Michael Steinrok noted that "everytime you turn the corner there'you find something else cool going on".


    Here's MonkeyatArms at the Utilikilt booth (doing a good job but overwhelmed by a bit too much demand and not quite enough supply)



    The family in one of the 5 odd vendor buildings (temptations galore!)




    What would a Highland Games be with out watching men hurl telephone poles!
