Thread Name: Big Mick's CD - 2002
Subject: RE: Big Mick's CD
Other Maxville - Maxville, Ontario, in Glengarry County. Glengarry Highland Games and North American Pipe Band Championships. Largest pipe band contest in North America, reputed to be the 2nd largest in the world...

And an absolutely MASSIVE beer tent - 3 stages, music going on each stage, beer sold at approximately 141 beers per second (1999 figures - take the number of barrels used, multiply by number of gallons per barrel, divide by the ounces per glass, divide by the number of hours beer was sold, divide by minutes per hour, divide by seconds per minute) 10 stations selling beer, people carrying racks of beer through the tent selling beer.... The stages kind of get drowned out when some of the larger pipe bands decide to start playing. Did I mention that they also sell beer?

But, I digress..... did I mention that they have a beer tent with music and beer?
