The backyard games in Cherry Valley is the best place to get started I've come across since it's very casual. Other games I've been to are fenced off and they pretty much want to keep you on the audience side, especially if there are pros there. You already know a couple of people that will be at the Cherry Valley games (me, Juli, not sure if you know Bigg Matt, but he's the guy in SS picking up a stone in the Rounded Back section). It's almost in your neighborhood too.
You don't need a kilt if you don't have one, but should you decide to get one, Sport Kilt makes some that are affordable and made for this type of thing.

Easy peasy. It'll get harder.
Front squats in a few days! ha!

It's Highland / Scottish events. It's a shortened version. You can likely expect, one weight for distance, weight over bar, hammer, caber.

Recovery day:
Recovery Day
Front Squat 4 x 3 135
Press 3 x 5 170
Power Cleans 5 x 3 125
Yes, laughably light, but if I get the PC even the slightest bit wrong, it hurts. So I'm going to do them right to save my wrists and elbows.

What help do front squats give you? I'm toying with trying them again but they looked awful when I tried them before.

I don't think anyone reading this log has any right to laugh at your weights!
