Chieftain

Dave and Sue Everett are our honorary Chieftains for 2024!

Dave and Sue have been involved with the Dunedin Highland Games for over 30 years. They have two children that have been involved in the Scottish Arts Programs and now have two grandchildren that have participated.  They have served on the Boards of the Dunedin HIghlander Middle School and Dunedin High School Band Boosters, and are still active in the planning and running of both the Dunedin Highland Games and the Celtic Music Festival.  Dave and Sue believe by being involved that it benefits the community and our kids in the schools.
