Alan Maloney competes in the men’s open sheaf toss at the Sitka Seafood Festival’s 2014 Highland Games. The bale, which weighs 16 pounds, easily cleared the 15-foot bar on this toss. The dress code for these particular games called for kilts, something Maloney had no trouble tracking down: he has a collection, and supplied several other competitors with their tartan.
