Liam Hingston of Saskatoon, formerly Rosetown, prepares to launch the caber in front of Derrek Watt of Tisdale, formerly Kyle, and Lloydminster’s Toby Culham during the Highland Games portion of the Museum Day at the Rosetown and District Museum. Culham, Watt and AJ Nichols landed their tosses perfectly, facing 12 o’clock away from them. Cool, cloudy weather and the threat of rain, which arrived during the Games, kept numbers of spectators and market vendors down. Otherwise, things went well, Gord Letourneau of the museum association said. PHOTO BY IAN MACKAY
