June Rollo remembered at Cambridge HG

A beautiful sunny day at Cambridge Highland Games yesterday was the backdrop for a high number of solo entries and a 27-band contest.

June Rollo Trophy

A new trophy was presented in memoriam of an Ontario Highland Games personality that will be sorely missed, June Rollo. The trophy was generously donated by the White Heather Pipes & Drums to be awarded annually to the professional piper of the day at Cambridge HG. The first recipient of the June Rollo trophy was Sean B. McKeown.
