Radford University

A couple of students at Radford University saw my solo street show at the Baltimore Inner Harbor and decided to bring the SHOWOFF Show! to their school for family weekend. We had a really nice time there.

Radford Virginia is known for its population of Scottish heritage , and the town was celebrating its annual Highlander Festival on campus grounds while we were there. We caught just the tail end of the goings-on when we arrived, but it seemed like a really great event. What's super cool about Scottish festivals is the Highland games, which are basically competitions in feats of strength. The most ridiculous game, in my opinion, is the caber toss, in which competitors try to throw a telephone pole as far as possible. It must go end over end to count. You can't just heave it. According to Wikipedia, there are also music and dance competitions at highland games, but that just seems a little too educational for me.
