Congratulations and Thank You!

A big thank you to our PPBSO staff, volunteers, stewards, judges, Glengarry Highland Games Committee and, of course, all of our competitors and bands. A special thanks to all those that travelled a long way to be part of this special weekend.

Enormous appreciation to our twenty-two judges for their expertise over the weekend, especially Barry Donaldson, Paul Turner and Dr. Angus MacDonald who made the trip from Scotland.
