Clan Donald was represented by Tammy
Soto and Tyler Brotherton at the Winston Highland Games August 17th and 18th. The
day started off a little chilly with some dew on the ground and moisture in the
air, but it soon warmed up to the usual hot and sunny day.
Tammy manned
the tent with her husband and two grand-daughters Brianna age 10 and Peyton age
6. Both Bree and Peyton felt very important being part of such an
event. Peyton was “in charge” of applying the Clan Donald stamps to the
young ones booklets, which she enjoyed very much.
We heard rumors that
this was the first year the athletics’ competition included some National
competitors, but not being able to leave the tent, Tammy couldn’t
confirm. By the cheering coming from that direction, it was probably
true!
Winston is a smaller venue but that just adds to the charm of the
whole event. You can get traditional Scottish food as well a the American
choices of BBQ, hamburgers and hot dogs; there was even a coffee cart
there. Tammy and Peyton’s favorite was the Hawaiian Shaved Ice, which was
just across the green from the Clan Tent in the line of sight and tempted them
into a couple servings that day J
Tyler and his family took over the manning of
the tent on Sunday which was very much appreciated, so that Tammy could spend
time with her sick brother-in-law. All in all, the weekend was a success
and hopefully more Clan Donald members can make it down in the coming years.
