<p align="left"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"> The Shire of Ffynnon Gath
would like to welcome one and all to our first annual Highland Games. Come join
us for a day of fun and games in a Scottish theme. </font></p>
<p align="left"> <font size="4" face="Times New Roman">There will
be a heavy weapons list fought for the ownership of the Shire's sheep herd.
Sheep will be placed on the field of battle to be snatched up by the quickest or
deadliest of fighters. Each fighter must safely see their flock of sheep to
pasture or forfeit them in the event of an untimely death. A fighter may be
resurrected at the cost of one sheep to their slayer. At the end of this timed
battle the fighter with the largest herd shall be named Sheep's Champion. This
lucky fighter will be rewarded with this fine Battle Axe for his hard work:</font></p>
