Clan Currie Opens 2008 Games and Festival Season at Bonnie Brae

The Clan Currie Society will open their 2008 Season of Highland Games and Festivals at the Bonnie Brae Scottish Games on Saturday, June 7, 2008. The Games will be held at Bonnie Brae School in Millington, New Jersey.

"We think of Bonnie Brae as our clan’s home games in the United States," said Robert Currie, President of the Clan Currie Society. Currie was part of the original planning committee for the first Bonnie Brae Games and served as Director of Piping and Drumming until 1992. In recognition of his efforts in establishing the games, Currie was named Honorary Chieftain for the 1993 gathering.

The Clan Currie Society returns to the Bonnie Brae Scottish Games on Saturday, June 7, 2008.

Produced by East of the Hebrides Entertainments, the Bonnie Brae Scottish Games will feature traditional piping, highland dance, and athletic competitions. For further information and tickets, contact East of the Hebrides Entertainments at (610) 825-7268, or visit their website at www.eohebrides.com. Tickets will also be available at the venue.
