Once again we attended the Annual Robert Burns Celebration of the Nevada Society of Scottish Clans. It is amazing how many folks are there in kilts. Our friend Phil who has been here from Scotland for about 4 years says it is the largest celebration of its kind he has seen and he has attended ones in Edinburgh and London.
Dean and Phil, who always wears his kilt of course.
Not only are there kilts, there are also bag pipes and
dancing and lots of Burns' poetry.
Phil and Patty who is wearing the corsage of heather that we are all given
upon arrival at the event.
Susan and Dean. The green/blue scarf Dean is wearing is the
McKay tartan. One day we may get him a kilt or at least a
vest in his tartan.
All four of us having had a wonderful evening, imbibed a lot of Scotch
(which is why Dean and I spend the night at the hotel rather than drive back
up the hill), eaten haggis as well as other (more) delicious food, and topped it
off with caramel bread pudding. It is a fun event and I am glad we discovered
it several years ago and that we have a true Scotsman in our party.
