HOW DID YOU START IN HIGHLAND GAMES? I got bit by the, “I think I could do that!” bug after watching the competition at the Rhode Island Scottish festival in 2017. Terri James, Erin Jones, and Alison Tostevin helped me sign up for one later on that summer and the rest is history!

FUNNY/UNIQUE HIGHLAND GAMES STORY While cheering on another athlete, my brain couldn’t decide whether to say, “C’mon big toss!” or “C’mon big throw!” So I ended up shouting, “C’mon big toe!” We had a great laugh, and they did in fact have a big throw afterwards.
