MICHELLE MANN DALEVILLE - The Boys & Girls Club of Daleville has received a donation from the Southeast Alabama Highland Games, given on behalf of the association after its second successful event held in Daleville in September.
The Southeast Alabama Highland Games and Scottish Heritage Festival made its return in 2021 after missing a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition is made up of games that show off the strength and determination of athletes of all ages and skill levels who compete in events such as shot put, hammer throw, and beam flips.

Featured are all the traditional Highland Games events, Johnson said, including the caber toss, sheaf toss, Scottish hammer throw, weight for height, and stone throw. Activities at the daylong event also include kids’ athletics—which are a staged down version of the competition to let the younglings try it out for themselves, he said.
