They lost me at the big, bold, "NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED" notice.

Never knew they had one of these in Mint Hill. I have heard of the one at Rural Hill called the Loch Norman Games but have never made it out there yet. Think that is held in April.

Let us know how it is if you go.

Yeah, the Alcohol thing is cuz it's a state park, but plenty of drinking goes on.

Loch Norman, yeah that's in April, great games! These things happen all over the state throughout the year, and they are way cool. Kinda like the Renfest if it was actually cool. I played Loch Norman last year, and until the St Pattys day parade this year it was the largest crowd I'd played in front of (Approx. 1k people)

My band is playing the Mint Hill games this year and I was just wondering if I'd run into any huddlers there.

I've actually not been to the Mint Hill games yet, but any Highland Games are pretty cool.

Grandfather Mtn is the king of Highland games in America FYI
