Robert Burns Supper Memories

The Alaskan Scottish Club celebrated the Life of Robert Burns, the Baird Scotland, on Saturday, January 17th, 2009. There was a no-host bar, then a performance by Crow Creek Pipes & Drums. Our highland dancer of the evening was Fiona Ensley. Father Elliott delivered the Selkirk Grace and David Teague presented the Address to the Haggis with true flair.

We started dinner with a taste of haggis followed by cock-a-leekie soup. Dinner was either prime rib, salmon or haggis with tatties & neeps, carrots and a fantastic berry trifle for dessert.

After dinner we viewed the video- Robert Burns Live. The Alaskan Scottish Club Board members provided the toasts to the Lads & Lassies.
