Sunshine on Kingsville

Kingsville, Ontario – June 22, 2019 – The Ontario pipe band scene welcomed the return of the new Kingsville Highland Games, held on the north shore of Lake Erie in very fine weather. Entry was relatively small, but larger than the inaugural contest in 2018. There were no Grade 1 or Grade 2 band competitions. Tyler Harris won all Professional solo piping events against Aidan Bowen, the only other contestant, with Bob Worrall judging everything.
