Seminole County Convention and Visitors Bureau will be rolling out their 2007 marketing campaign this morning. In looking their campaign I noticed where they are giving $50,000 for marketing and promoting the Scottish Highland Games.
In all my times of living in Central Florida, I have never heard about the Scottish Highland Games so I decided to do a little research and this is what I found out.
Area Scottish societies gather each year to compete in rigorous athletic events, dancing and piping to celebrate their rich heritage. This event is sponsored by the Scottish-American Society of Central Florida, and the Games feature such crowd favorites as tossing the Caber, Sheaf Toss and Hammer Throw, as well as the second-largest highland dance competition in the Southeastern United States.
This sounds like a really fun event!
