FERGUS Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games has been forced to scale back its presentation, but with creativity and continued support, organizers say the festival is doing well. “We’ve tried to do as much as we can within the confines of COVID, but it’s another virtual event essentially,” said David Radley, President of the Fergus Scottish Festival and Highland Games. The festival was held virtually in 2020. This year, some competitions like the heavy throwing events are still happening ahead of the official festival dates, but the majority of the activities are not.
