SFU Gung Haggis Fat Choy Festival - Dragon Cart Races + Human Curling

Human curling made it's world debut as the first event of the SFU Gung Haggis Fat Choy Festival. Car tires were fitted onto a wooden platform with roller wheels, and floated easily across the SFU Convecation Mall towards a target with points. Human contestants sat upon each "rock" as their team mates gave a good push to launch them towards the target.
It was all part of the 2nd annual SFU Gung Haggis Fat Choy Festival, which aims to bring the growing Asian student population together with Simon Fraser University's Scottish traditions. Rather than create a traditional "Highland Games" the SFU Recreation department approached SFU alumni Todd Wong, to help them create a culturally inclusive and interactive new approach. more »

SFU Gung Haggis Fat Choy Festival - Dragon Cart Races + Human Curling

I was approached by the SFU Recreation Department way back in Fall 2004, to help them create an event that would bring the large Asian student population together with the university's Scottish traditions. Voila - SFU Gung Haggis Fat Choy "Canadian Games" was created! And Dragon Cart racing was born! ~~~~~ 2 years later... Dragon Cart racing returns to Convecation Mall at SFU's Burnaby Mountain Campus, and it is joined by "Human Curling" and an attempt to set a record for the largest number of people eating haggis at one time. I will be MC for the ceremonies, and the play by play announcer for the Dragon Cart races. more »
