The 2008 Bellingham Highland Games

Jen and I went back again today to visit at our leisure. My Dad tires really quickly so outings with him tend to be short. Here are some photos:
This is taken from a tower at the site.
This is about 30% of the booths at the event,
this was taken around 4PM on the last day
so many vendors had already packed
and gone.
Another view from the tower.
The event is held at Whatcom County's Hovander Park.
The park is still a working 720 acre farm.


Yesterday's opening ceremonies had two large groups of pipers
marching in formation.
Over 400 bagpipes gathered in one spot.
The Flag Guard from the opening ceremonies.
Here is my Dad after walking about a mile.
This is hard to see as he used to hike,
backpack and rock climb...
Some Rugby action...
And some excellent music.
This was a local band: Maggie's Fury All in all, a fun two days... Posted by DaveH at June 8, 2008 8:00 PM
