This unique event celebrates ancestral tradition by bringing a bit of that same Scottish heritage to the Truckee Meadows area. The Games are also noted for their unique sporting and athletic events\, many of which are so well known to have become emblematic of Scotland\, such as the bagpipes\, the kilt\, whisky\, and heavy events\, especially the caber toss and axe throwing – all of which are featured heavily at any gathering. \nNorthern Nevada Throwing Company encourages guests of all ages to attend the event over two days. Kilts are optional. The fun begins at 9am at the Gandolpho Rodeo Arena\, 2200 Loop Road in Sparks. Individual admission costs $10 or $30\, including an event shirt and ticket. The event includes a beard contest\, Highland Coos from the Corkscrew Cattle Company\, Face painting\, food trucks\, vendors selling various retail items\, Sierra Highlanders Pipe Band\, food\, drinks\, and The Nevada Society of Scottish Clans. Parking is available for $5 per car\, with all of the proceeds benefiting the Reid High Sea Cadets. Tickets\, competition registration\, and additional details are available online.
