78th Frasers streaking at Kincardine

Kincardine, Ontario – July 2, 2016 – A picture-perfect sunny day on the shores of Lake Huron was the familiar scene at the annual Kincardine Scottish Festival, where the 78th Fraser Highlanders won for the fourth straight time in the 2016 outdoor season. The band piping judges were at times far apart in their results. Sean McKeown was the Professional Piper of the Day and Zack Miller Professional Snare Drummer of the Day.
