Handy Guide To Our Burns Supper
Address To The Haggis
"The Address to the Haggis" is a famous poem by Robert Burns and is recited at a Burns Supper before the Haggis is eaten. A member of the society usually performs this honor at our annual event.
Whisky Ceremony
Members of the president's party are presented with a quaich ceremony, where each member is given a dram of whisky in the quaich and must show they have consumed every drop by rotating the bowl over their head as proof. The quaich is passed to every member of the party.
Entertainment
Our entertainment for the night, includes the presentations at the beginning as well as a pipe band performance and a performance from the Rocky Mountain Highland Dancers.
Silent Auction
In order to offset the costs of such a grand event, the society hosts a silent auction during our Burns Supper. Items are typically Scottish or British related and can range in value. Every dollar raised goes to keeping our events and activities going.
