Some Pictures From The Savannah Games

Surprise! Chuck and Anne Stoodley from FL came up to see me! They set up a tent at the Jacksonville FL games in January. I'll scan their pictures and post them next. The day of the games was Chuck's 75th birthday!







Congratulations to Chris Rollison who won the Sgt Rufus Calhoun Hodges Georgia Hussar Award for Athlete Of The Day, an award for sportsmanship. A picture of this years award and description is here.
With Chris are members of Clann Nan Con, "...founded in 1998 by a group of Civil War Reenactors looking for a new challenge..."who..."accurately portray the Scottish Highlanders of the 1730's & 1740's, an era of great turmoil, both in Scotland & the colony of Georgia." The military unit these reenactors represent evolved into the National Guard unit Georgia Hussars.

Chief Britt Brinson of Clann Nan Con. Britt's mother is a Calhoun and he often wears an ancient Colquhoun kilt.












Colquhoun Clan Tent. This may be the last games in our nation that require you to bring your own tent. They do supply tables and chairs. The Savannah Games have a hardcore base of loyalists that have supported this festival through good times and hard.




T Shirts for sale. I can mail these out if you like them.
Pin collection.


Shortbread tin I've been advised to not turn my back on for too long.



Hamish Mowat was a friend of mine who passed a few years ago. A native Scot, he used to tell me he'd smuggle "lights" back from Scotland in his golf bag to make haggis for his own use. His concession is thankfully run by his daughter and son-in-law now. I'm happy to see it each year at various festivals and know his memory lives on.










Colquhoun's own Stephanie Fox was on hand as nurse at the MacMedic tent again for here (and Stone Mountain in October). That's poison ivy and a yellow jacket (bee) on their banner. Also in Georgia they treat a lot of heat exhaustion.
