 LADIES HAGGIS HURLING FEATURED AGAIN AT 59TH GAMES

The Hurling of the Haggis

Legend has it that women would stand on one side of the River Dromach and hurl haggis luncheons to their husbands on the other side.  Out of these humble beginnings grew a World Haggis Hurling Association with Haggis Hurling competitions held in the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada. The world finals are held in Edinburgh in September.

Ligonier Highland Games will host it's second annual “Hurling of the Haggis” for our female audience members.  Meet in front of the Main Field Tent at 11:30 am and we’ll kick off the event right before the Massed Bands. Here are the basic rules:
  1. All competitors must be present and signed-in by 11:30 am
  2. Every competitor will have two chances to hurl the haggis (a 2 pound bag) for distance.  We will score your longest throw.
  3. All competitors must stay within the marked-off throwing zone.
  4. Competitors must twirl the haggis over their head prior to the throw.
  5. The first, second and third place winners will take home gift cards.
Have fun!
THANK YOU MS. KELLY SHAFFER FOR THE GENEROUS DONATION OF THE GIFT CARDS FOR THE LADIES HAGGIS HURL FOR THE 2016 GAMES!!

The Ligonier Highland Games go on, rain or shine.

At first we were reluctant to post this video from 2013, but we want to show that yes, our Games still take place even when it rains - so don't let the weather stop you from coming out and enjoying the day.  Besides, we all know it won't rain on us again for another 20 years.
