Milwaukee Highland Games

We had a successful day at the Milwaukee Highland Games (Scottish Fest) on June 3rd at Hart Park in Wauwatosa.  Caledonian Scottish Dancers had many dancers competing in both morning and afternoon competitions, with dancers winning places in Primary, Beginner, Novice, and Premier categories.  For two of the dancers this was their very first competition!  Way to go dancers!

 

Also a first for the group this year participating in the festival with a Caledonian Scottish Dancers booth in the clans area!

What a busy Labor Day weekend!

Our small group of competitive dancers, ranging from beginner all the way to premier, competed this weekend at the annual Waukesha Highland Games and managed to bring home several trophies! Congratulations to each and every one of you who competed, we’re all so proud of you and your hard work!

Additionally, our group held a rummage sale fundraiser which by all measures was a huge success! A big thank you to those who patronized our rummage, to those who donated items for us to rummage, and to all those who volunteered their tables, chairs, and/or free time to make the rummage sale possible!

We’re having a rummage sale this weekend!

Planning on visiting the St. Martins Fair this weekend in Franklin, like getting a good deal, and/or have free time this upcoming Labor Day weekend? Then why not stop in at the rummage sale we’ll be holding this Sunday, Sept. 4th, and Monday, Sept. 5th to help us raise funds for our trip to Scotland!

Starting times

Sunday, Sept. 4th: 9:00 AM
Monday, Sept. 5th: 8:00 AM

Address

11129 W. Church St., Franklin, WI 53132

Note: West Saint Martin’s Road will be closed due to the fair. Therefore, the best way to get to the rummage will be instead via South Lovers Lane Road, followed by turning onto West Church Street, and continuing onward all the way to the listed address.
