GOTCHF 2025 LINEUP
Heavy Events
A little bit track and field, a little bit powerful athletes in kilts, a whole lot of fun to watch! This year we will be joined by Jim and Shannon Garrick assisted by Nick Goetz who will be instructing our competitors. Our instructors will demonstrate these extremely difficult challenges and coach a few of our local champions in a friendly competition. Events include the Caber Toss, Stone Put, Hammer Throw, Light and Heavy Weight Throw, Weight for Height, Weight for Distance and Sheaf Toss. You won’t want to miss a minute.
​
Are you interested in taking part in our heavy events for honor and glory? Contact us at info@flagstaffscottishclub.com

You must wear a kilt to participate. We can train up to 20 participants of any age, gender or experience level

The Ceilidh
This year we are pleased to announce the return of Cabot's Crossing to our Ceilidh. Their classic celtic and east coast stylings are sure to get you out on the dance floor. We will start the evening at 5 PM with a lineup of opening Entertainers. Cabot's Crossing takes the stage at 7PM. Of course with this many pipers and drummers in house, intermissions mean the music just gets unplugged and louder!
