Main Street businesses prepare for Highland
Games by participating in the merchant window
decorating contest that is kindly sponsored by
Antigonish Chamber of Commerce. Decorated
windows create a Scottish face on our downtown
so that visitors and locals are immersed into
the spirit of the games. Windows are judged
during the street fair and a prize for the most
attractive and create window will be awarded on
the entertainment stage.
Highland Games Street Fair 2009 was a successful
event with attendance in the thousands, over 40
