We are all very excited to invited to join the world wide fraternity on Saturday evening, January 25th in celebrating the birth of the poet Robert Burns. All Scots and lovers of all things Scottish are welcome as we commemorate our connection to the land of Misty Mountains.
This sequel to last years wildly successful event will be held at the Woodstock Moose Lodge and will include an expanded lineup of entertainment complemented by a sumptuous dinner prepared by Happenings Catering. Please note that due to public demand the location has changed since the announcement in the November Mountain Courier.
The evening will begin with a 6:30 PM reception featuring a cash bar. At 7:00 PM the skirling of the Highland Pipes will call all to the groaning board. The buffet dinner will include:
- Traditional Cock-a-leekie Soup
- Scottish Salmon w/ Maple & Ginger
- Cranberry Balsamic Roasted Chicken Breast
- Vegetarian Pasta Primavera
- Traditional Neeps & Tatties (mashed potatoes and turnips)
- Honey Glazed Carrots
And don’t miss out on just a taste of our USDA approved Haggis imported all the way from, well ... Bangor, Maine. But made, with minor substitutions from a traditional 150 year old Scottish recipe.
And for desert, a favorite from last year: Raspberry Cranachan Trifle with Scottish Shortbread Cookies. And of course, Iced Tea, Coffee & Hot Tea are included.
If you have a favorite Burns verse or Scottish song we’d love to hear from you. Requests will be considered, and your participation in the entertainment is encouraged. Please just let us know when you make your reservation.
Tickets are $50 per person, or $90 for a couple. All profits will be donated to the Valley Educational Center for the Creative Arts. The link to online ticketing will be posted here by December 1st.
