Hastings Highland Loggers Games

We are enjoying the flavour of the "north" country especially the logging trucks and mills so evident in this area. Yesterday's highlights were the loggers games held in Maynooth.

Every gathering needs a parade so at 10 am the highway was shut down and the parade began................

complete with a marching band (I love the bag-pipes) ...............

logging trucks ................................................

floats ............................................

more floats (all related to logging) ........................

babies in big trucks ..........................

then it was up to the fields to enjoy the events. Don't forget, Maynooth is so small the don't have a grocery store, they don't even post the population sign; so this was a big crowd in town last Saturday.
More tomorrow.
