Welcome to the 2014 Bellingham Highland Games! Céad Mile Fáilte “One Hundred Thousand Welcomes” to the 2014 Scottish Highland Games! I would like to thank those of you returning again this year and welcome those here for the first time to our wonderful event, it is what it is because of you! From spectators to competitors and all the vendors and performers in between YOU are what make this event so great! I invite you to walk the easy grounds and take in all the sights, sounds and smells as we take you into the history and culture of Scotland. Our members and volunteers will help make it all a very memorable experience. I would like to personally thank the City of Ferndale and Mayor Gary Jensen, the Whatcom County Parks & Recreation Deptartment and Director, Michael McFarlane, Park Ranger Dennis Connor and the Staff of Hovander Homestead Park and Whatcom County Executive Jack Louwes for all the support they have given this and every year. With sun on your face, feet all a-whirl, the heaving of stone and the sound of pipes in the air enjoy your time here and take the memories with you!
