It's that time of year y'all. Time to get your names in for the Maine Highland Games. Sam Denson and I will be AD-ing the games again this year. We will be having all the normal classes as usual.
Date: August 16, 2014 Where: Topsham Fairgrounds, Topsham ME What: A Wicked Awesome Good Time Am A Am B Masters Ladies and of course Pro' As you all know earlier this year long time Maine AD and even longer time New England Highland Athlete Leroy McDonough passed away unexpectedly. In honor of all the work he did to keep a thriving pro class we have added a 6th pro spot that will be known as Leroy's Spot. We will hold this spot every year for a new, up and comer to the Pro Ranks. This year it is my honor to have one of our very own New England Throwers, making the jump to the big time, fill this spot. Congratulations to Jeff Kaste. Pro Lineup Jeremy Gillingham Matt Doherty Nathan Burchett John Pilling Will Barron Jeff Kaste AMs if you are interested in competing please contact Sam and me here or at mainehighlandathletics@yahoo.com so we can get you on the list. We have already had some early interest from outside New England and I encourage everyone out there who might want to spend a few summer days on the beautiful coast of Maine to come on up and throw. As in years past there is no registration fee, I will be sending out free tickets to all those who register. If you would like to pre-order tickets for your friends or family at a lesser cost let me know and I can help facilitate that. Also looking for volunteers to help, free ticket and free t-shirt, the more the merrier. If you have any family or friends who would like to help please please send them my way. Can't wait to see you all. Alison Tostevin Edited by ATost - 6/08/14 at 6:41am |

The pre game meal is in the works. Will let you know as soon as it's decided. Sam's wife is working in it. I promise it will not be the same place as last year.

Bummer. No other games in New England really has the space to do the light hammer. I understand about the pros not doing it, but we are mere mortals compared to them. I will do whatever I can to keep us moving, so maybe we will have time to do it.
Also, I heard talk of splitting the Ams up, sending some of the big Ams up with the Pros. Is this still an option? |

At the moment their is no organized pre game meal. I personally will not be up their Friday night. So I would suggest if people want to get together try the Sea Dog Brewery, Byrns Irish Pub, the restraunt on the back of the ticket I have not been to in years, it is supposed to be good. Pedro O'Hares is also an interesting mix of Mexican and Irish. Wish I could be up their at night. I will see you all Saturday.
