Don't miss it this time!! Last year, over 10,000 people enjoyed the first-ever Highlands of Durham Games (Durham Region's only Celtic festival) in Uxbridge and Port Perry, Ontario. This year, with a bigger and better festival planned, Games organizers are hoping for even larger crowds. "We were excited at the response last year," says Stu Bennett, head of the large com- mittce of volunteers. "It's made us determined to make the Second Annual Games a total Celtic experience - more pipe bands, more dancers, more contests, contests, more ways for the entire family to get involved." As Bennett explains it, at the Highlands of Durham, the visitor is treated to more than a traditional traditional highland games. There arc all the elements one comes to expect at such an event - pipes and drums, Scottish dancers, athletic athletic matches - and in every case, the number of participants will be considerably higher than in last year's inaugural Games. =onurruid X DRUG MART Extended Hours Monday to Friday Open 'til 10:00 p.m. Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Open all Holidays I I :00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Bowmanville Mall Telephone 623-2546 ©j.p.

Some are features that a visitor would recognize as Scottish - the sheepdog trials, for example, the golf tournament, or the ceilidhs (pronounced kay-lecs, and best described as Celtic hootenannies, which last long into the night) - but wouldn't ordinarily expect at a Highland Games. Others, however, however, arc unique to the Durham event. These include the most comprehensive comprehensive show of Scottish animals animals at any fair anywhere, including Aberdeen Angus and Highland cattle, Clydesdale horses, horses, and several breeds of sheep and dogs. For the kids, there is the Young People's Celtic Pavilion sponsored by McDonald's, an interactive area where children from 5 to 20 can learn about their Celtic roots by participating in a myriad of activities, from face painting to boat building. "We hope to accommodate as many as 300 children per hour," says the Pavilion's creator, David Foster. "Last year, the kids were fascinated, and we'll have double the activities this time around, with a variety that will appeal to every age." The Games kick off Thursday, July 24 with a golf tournament, being held this year at Mill Run Country Club in Siloam, just west of Uxbridge. Friday the action moves to Port Perry, with a military tattoo, and the massed bands beginning an all-night ceilidh featuring Cobbler's Apron. Saturday and Sunday's activities activities arc focussed on Uxbridge, particularly on Elgin Park. The • first day, a parade down Brock Street starts al 11 a.m., followed by the opening ceremonies al 1 p.m. Dancing, athletic and animal animal contests go on all day, as does the Young People's Celtic Pavilion.

"We're particularly excited," says Stu Bennett, "about the quality and quantity of pipe bands we've got coming this year. There are 15 all told from near and far: our own Durham Police and Uxbridge Legion bands, as well as groups from Hamilton, Waterloo, Ottawa, Sudbury, Niagara, Metro Police, Regina, Cincinnati, and the Emerald Society Band from New York City.
