Joshua Hogg overall best at online Saskatchewan Gathering

The Internet – May 22, 2021 – The Saskatchewan Highland Gathering & Celtic Festival (SHGCF) usually takes place on the May long weekend and knowing that it wouldn’t be possible for the regular games this year, the committee decided to host an online event. The competition drew more than 100 entries from across Canada and the USA, as well as competitors from Scotland, South Africa and Germany, with a dozen in the Professional solo piping.

SHGCF President Sharon Schmidt was pleased with the outcome: “It was just great to see so many people jumping on from around the world, and it was a great opportunity for our local players to keep going. We’re looking forward to hosting the Games in person in 2022.”
