Friends and Supporters of THF and Games,

Tennessee Highland Games had another successful year in 2007. Therefore, it is with sincere regret that we must tell you that Tennessee Highland Games have been suspended.  We are forced into this action due to a murky economic future and a scarcity of manpower. With this break of a year or two, we can make a permanent decision about the future of the Tennessee Highland Games.

We want to thank each and every one of you for your loyal support for the last twelve years. We could not have done it without you, and we will miss seeing you. We appreciate the many glowing comments we have received on the quality of our event over the years and hope that in future we will be again able to support an event of our established quality.
