It was another fabulous year, made even more fun by all of the authentic Scottish wear: men in kilts just make my heart go pitter-patter! Special thanks to Jake Joseph for judging the Men's Events tirelessly while working out himself. Also thanks to everyone who made the Scottish breakfast the fabulous feast that we all come back for year after year. And I want to thank everyone for coming and making this the highlight of the summer--can't wait to see you all back next year.

Reminders and Rules
As we approach the day of the Games, I just want to remind everyone to look back through the blogs for previous years to get extra information about what is happening on July 10. A few reminders:
1. This is a great day for fun for everyone, but safety always comes first. Small children should be kept off the heavy events field. Participants in the heavy events need to exercise good sense and be careful to not overestimate their abilities. The Master of the Games has the final say if a participant could injure himself. Bring sunscreen and bug spray if you think you may need it. Drink plenty of fluids so we don't have any "heat extortion."
2. The rules for the Heavy Events and the Baking Contest are listed in previous blogs, but as a reminder, all the entries that are edible should be made from scratch (no box mixes may be used) and they should not contain any hydrogenated oils (no margarine or crisco-type products).
3. Weather. If it rains, the Games will go on! As long as there is no lightning or tornado warning, we will gather and have Breakfast and a good day of fun!
4. Feel free to invite new Scottish wannabes--we can always use new spectators and more contestants!
See you all real soon!
