Sheep Herding - Mayor's Haggis Hurl - Scottish Tea Room & Art Exhibition
Watch as a seasoned sheep herder Viki Kidd works closely with her talented border collies to rally a herd of sheep into one pen. Viki has travelled across Ontario showcasing her eye-catching skills and will be performing throughout the day. Be sure to stop by to catch one of her demonstrations at 10am, 1pm and 3pm!
According to Wikipedia, Haggis Hurling is a Scottish sport involving the hurling of a haggis as far as possible for distance and accuracy from atop a platform (usually a whisky barrel). The haggis must be edible after landing.
At the Kingsville-Essex Highland Games we forego the platform and, although our haggis is lovingly home-made by one of our awesome volunteers, no eating is required.
Join us as mayors from the Windsor Essex region compete for the bragging rights of Chief Haggis Hurler.
Scottish Tea Room & Art Exhibition
Join us for a spot of tea and listen to some Cape Breton music from Parker Oullette. A great place to unwind in air-conditioned comfort and rest those tired feet after enjoying the festivities around the Highland Games site. The Scottish Tea Room is located inside the main Museum building and will be serving 11am to 3pm. Members of the Arts Society of Kingsville will also be on hand in the Museum sharing their skills and selling their wares from 9am until closing.
Parker Oullette lives in Windsor but has roots in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. He played at the Kingsville Highland Games in 2019 and will be playing for everyone in the Scottish Tea Room this year. Parker takes his influence from Eastern Canadian Folk, American Folk and Country Music.
