These games are held at Greenmead Historical Park Livonia, Michigan. \u00a0Greenmead is a historical farm site that was purchased by the city of Livonia to preserve the legacy of Michigan\u2019s agricultural heritage.<\/p>\n

At eleven o\u2019clock was the blessing of the tartan. Followed by the parade of tartan. We were joined by Terry Wallace and Jim Wagner as we marched around the parade field. Todd and Connie Wallace, and Mary Ann Wallace joined us at the tent to enjoy the games.<\/p>\n

The games hosted a tug o\u2019 war, Highland dancing competition, heavy athletics, wee bairns area, whisky tasting, Highland Tea, and shortbread contest.<\/p>\n

Our thanks to all that came out and enjoy the weekend with us. Without YOU there is no Clan Wallace. Can\u2019t wait to see you all next year!<\/p>\n
