The 52 nd Annual Colonial Highland Gathering is sponsored by The Scottish Games Association of Delaware, Inc. at Fair Hill Race Track in Fair Hill, Maryland on May 19 th, 2012.  In addition to food and entertainment, an event called the Highland Heptathlon or the Highland Games is held there. The yearly celebration shares Scotttish and Celtic culture with the community.  It helps create an authentic atmosphere for people from Scotland and the event’s visitors with period dress, music, and cuisine.  It also helps spread understanding of the culture itself.  People wanting to immerse themselves in another country’s rites, traditions, and lifestyle will enjoy The Annual Colonial Highland Gathering. Established in 1964, the Highland Heptathlon was designed for heavy-weights.  A physically intensive competition, credit is given to Mr. Donald Campbell, an official judge with the Scottish Amateur Athletic Association and former World Champion in Cumberland Wrestling as well as the 16-lb. hammer throw.  He held the world’s record for the 56-lb. throw for distance.  Having him judge the event helped draw a crowd. Although some of the events have changed over the years, the Highland Heptathlon draws a crowd.  Impressive contests like these gain a following.  People from around the country travel long distances to see their favorite athletes compete. Lapel pins are the perfect way to celebrate cultural events because they can be customized.  They easily convey themes, logos, symbols and other relevant items.  If you’re the organizer of a special event like the Colonial Highland Gathering, you can get people excited about the event by creating and handing out custom lapel pins prior to the date of the festival or gathering. Custom lapel pins are great items to sell in the gift stores and shops of your events as a fundraiser.  People love to support worthy causes.  That’s why they go to great lengths to purchase pins from the different events that they attend.  People like to go home with meaningful souvenirs from the places they’ve visited and the events that they’ve attended. Pins are great to give away as awards.  They can use in place of plaques and trophies.  Because they’re easy to transport from location to the next, they can even be used at out-of-state and out-of-country events.  They can easily be placed in a bag or suitcase for safekeeping.
