View CommentsStone Mountain Highland Games this weekend
Each year, during the third weekend in October, Scots gather in the meadow at Stone Mountain Park. For 37 years the Stone Mountain Highland Games have not only provided cool athletic competition, but also a great musical performances and social interactions.
I have been to a few of the events over the years and enjoyed watching athletic events like the Caber Toss (this is throwing a telephone pole, kids…), the Hammer Throw and the Sheaf Toss.
I’m also a sucker for bagpipe music.
Hit up the Stone Mountain Highland Games website for more info. Events start Friday evening and continue through Sunday. There IS an additional charge to get into the meadow, aside from the park’s entry fee.

Home ownership is the foundation of the American Dream. Being able to have a home to call your own is one of the greatest things this country offers, and even as the housing bubble burst, many have been looking for a way to own their own piece of the American dream…
If you want to take advantage of this program, Ken Cook at Novation Mortgage should be your first call, and I should be your second.
I look forward to hearing from you.
