Tug O’War

In 1914, Wayne County Sheriff, James Milton Oakman, donated a beautiful silver engraved loving cup to the winning Tug O’ War team at the 65th Annual Highland Games.  At that time, Tug O’ War was an official Olympic sport! 

~ The American team won the gold medal that year! ~

For the past decade, the winning Tug O’ War teams have been presented with the 1914 Sheriff’s Trophy for the Men’s champions and the 2014 Sheriff’s Trophy to the Women’s champions.
