Was curious who and how those celebrating this year will spend their evening? Myself, going to a friend's Burn's supper, followed by bonfires, reading of poetry and many drams by firelight! Gonna be a cold one..lol.

Our restaurant, The Perry Street Brasserie in Galena, IL will hold it's Second Annual Burns Night Dinner on Friday, 1/25.  Steve has prepared a special Scottish feast.  There will be a parade of the haggis, then An Ode to the Haggis will be read in Gaelic and English.  Throughout the evening, Tinker Macrae, a standout performer from the Bristol Renaissance Faire will perform Scottish music, with a sing a long, and this year one of our guests has asked if she could read a Burns poem.  Go for it, Diane!  Lots of kilts and Scottish garb will be worn, and even non-drinkers loved the Scottish cocktail Steve invented last year!

The Heather & Thistle Society in Houston is defunct; so, we are adrift to find a dinner here or there, or where-ever that is close enough.

Sounds delish, Lady Renee, but the budget is tight this year.  Gotta save up for honeymoon trip.
