The
Highland Challenge
The Highland Challenge is a new component of the Highland Games and will be held on Sunday September 27. This competition is a hybrid between a strongman competition and Highland Games competition. It will consist of at least 4 events, and possibly a fifth.
The 1st event will be a challenge caber which will be at least 50lbs heavier than most games use in competition. The competitors will get 3 attempts to get their best score.
The 2nd event is a Replica Dinnie Stone Hold. The stone is over 400lbs and has a ring handle set into the top, the athletes will get one attempt to lift and hold the stone with both hands for as long as possible.
The 3rd event will be a headstone carry, athletes will lift the stone from a barrel and cradle it in their arms and carry it for as far as they can in 90 second. The stone will weigh 222lbs and is a former headstone cut down for athletic competition.
The 4th event will be a replica of the Unspunnen stone toss, adapted from the Unspunnen festival held in Switzerland every 7 years. The stone will weigh at least 130lbs, possibly 180lbs and the athletes will have to lift it from the ground to chest height and run up to the foot board and throw it as far as they can without stepping over the foot board. They will get 3 attempts to make their best mark.
A possible 5th event will be a farmer's walk where the athletes will have to lift two separate weighted cylinders’ and carry them as far as they can within 90 seconds.

If it rains this weekend, don't let the wet weather deter you from experiencing the Medieval Faire at Green Hill Park! It rained last year and there were folks there having an excellent time. The photos at left are from last year's event. Below is the release from Roanoke County Parks and Recreation:
Experience the adventure, pageantry, magic and romance of medieval times at Roanoke County’s Green Hill Park. On Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM upon the spacious verge you will find fluttering flags and festive tentage of merchants offering wares from mystical lands and times. Revisit history made reality as the living history exhibitors display life as it was in the Middle Ages. Come witness the Scottish horsemanship and sword fighting which are among the many favorite forms of medieval entertainment. Smell the luscious aroma of roasted meats, tasty breads and delicious treats near the tavern pavilion. Throughout the day, you will witness laughter, music and merriment, colorful dancers, nobles, ladies, knights, and of course the most noble of all creatures the regal greyhounds. Festive tents line the lawn with gifts, garb and wonders galore.
Due to its past popularity the Highland Games are back and have been expanded into a full two days of excitement! You can witness incredible feats of strength and endurance by some of the best athletes around. Athletes of varying skill levels will compete in seven challenging and varied categories. On Saturday beginning at 5 PM a Masquerade Ball will be held at no extra charge, dress for the ball if you so desire and learn the refined art of hand kissing, engage in the wooing contest and learn the dances from days of old charm.
Each day children of all ages are invited to play imaginative games such as Ratapult, Sheep Toss, Dragon Droppings, Unicorn Ring Toss, Boar Hunt, and Pole Jousting. You may also test your prowess at the archery range and ax throw. Take a step back into time, bring the whole family and make a little “history of your own”!
In an effort to entice area families to attend, especially with the
relevance of this period in history to SOL testing admission price has
been kept at only $5 per person with children under 5 being free.
