Halls Defense 

 

Shredded Chicken

Did you know you could do this? Just throw in the warm chicken with the flat head and turn it on low. 30 sec to a min later you have shredded chicken.

 

52nd annual Charleston Scottish Games and Highland Gathering

Saturday, Nov. 4. You don’t have to be formally Scottish to participate — the Scottish Society of Charleston says, “You will be considered Scottish for the day” regardless of your heritage.

Event schedule

Gates open at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4 at Riverfront Park. There’s a lot to explore at this event, but here are some of the highlights:

  • Throughout the day there will be athletic competitions and demonstrations. If you’ve never seen a hammer throw or caber toss, this is your chance.
  • At 9 a.m., the highland dancing competition begins. See talented dancers compete in form, technique, stamina, and strength.
  • The opening ceremonies include a parade of tartans in the North Field at 11:30 a.m.
  • We love a dog with a job. Watch border collies and their handlers show off their herding skills at 1 p.m. in the South Field.

There are also tents where you can learn more about your heritage, Scotch tastings, kids activities, fiddling jam sessions, and tons of live music. Check out the full schedule of events.
