This year’s festival will be home to the inaugural National Women’s Championship Heavy Events competition.
Twelve competitors from across Canada will participate in the Canadian Scottish Athletic Federation (CSAF) Women’s Championship.
The heavy events will include tossing a caber, throwing a sheaf, a hammer and a stone of varying weights in a sport that requires distance, accuracy and height.
These athletes will compete each day, culminating in the naming of a winner of the distinguished title on Sunday.
Representing Fergus is Jackie Greig, of the Fergus Scottish Festival’s Board of Directors.
