Happy Highland Games! Antigonish Highland Games. Our guys are at it early this morning cleaning up after the night before. Unfortunately, we are unable to have any trucks in the grand parade today as business is booming, so no time to clean the trucks! “Dirty trucks are busy trucks”. Thank you to our loyal customers, BIG BLUE is BACK! 💙👍🏻💙👍🏻💙👍🏻💙👍🏻💙👍🏻💙👍🏻💙👍🏻💙
Enjoy the parade ! Hope to be back next year.

Happy Highland Games ! Our guy Rob Pauls snapped a beauty pic this morning as he “quarterbacks” the team on clean up after the Friday night activities at Columbus Field.
