Hello all of my friends in the Scottish Highland Games community.
I have to finally get this 800 pound gorilla off my back. There will be no Scottish Highland Games at the College of Southern Idaho. I have been hoping for the something to happen that would allow the games to return for its 7th amazing year. The Student Clubs and Organizations pulled the funds from by group the Highland Culture Club in the fall making it really impossible for us to put the games on. The CSI Clubs and organizations also pulled a key fund raiser that each club had the chance to raise funds for their own activities, hurting the chance of the games happening. As I explored options to raise funds for this my own personal life really got in the way and I really had to really pull some more weight at home while Shawna was recovering from three different surgeries in three months. I was approached by several people reference the games and options and there was not enough funds, involvement, or interest in the activity. With Shawna and my choices on our personal life coupled with school to accomplish our own goals left little time to seek out funds to make the games happen. Also with commitments that we have going, I see my active role in the Scottish Highland Games this year as minimal at best. At best under our current calendar I may not even compete at all this year. I will have to wait and see on that.
So that there it is in a nutshell. No Scottish Highland Games on Campus and without the support of the College of Southern Idaho. With no funds available to the club, The All Women’s Games Valkyrie games in July might have to find another venue as well. This has been really hard to cut the ties on somethings that you have worked on to improve the culture of the sport. After my commitments are taken care of this year, I will return as an athlete. As for any Scottish Highland Games of any kind happening again on the campus of the College of Southern Idaho grounds remains a total unknown.
