Just to use this post as a segue, if anyone in town is looking for something to do on New Years Eve, the Highland Games and the St. Andrew Society will be having the inaugural Hogmanay celebration at Harry’s Country Club on the City Market.
We hope to have Hazel play a few traditional songs and lead us in a very traditional version of Bobby Burns’s song.
The Scotch will be flowing the pipes will be playing and we plan to have a very good time for this first footing event.
