Hi everyone - the Greenland games are this Saturday! I hope you're all as excited as I am, because it's going to be awesome! Here's why:

1. We're slated to have at least five clans of four Scott-people each for some serious Scottish competition (but likely 8 or 10 clans!).
2. We have an awesome venue at the Little Harbor School in Portsmouth - rain or shine because of the school's gym!
3. We've got some new games this year including ultimate frisbee, a t-shirt making contest (make 'em before you get there! See below), and the constant ability to earn more points for your clan by showing Clan Spirit, thinking out of the box, showing your Scottish enthusiasm, or just plain making people laugh!
4. An official-looking website: www.greenlandgames.org! How cool is that?
5. Awards! I'm not sure what they are, just yet, but they'll be cool and you'll want them. Trust me.
6. You get to throw a caber! It's a smallish one, so it's feasible, but still really cool!
