Burns Supper this Saturday

By Janet Kanters Times Editor

Lovers of haggis note: the annual Burns supper goes this Saturday, Jan. 19 at the Strathmore Royal Canadian Legion.
The Strathmore Masonic Lodge is hosting Robbie Burns night with the Burns supper, featuring cock-a-leekie soup, roast beef, haggis and dessert.
A Burns supper is a celebration of the life and poetry of the poet Robert Burns, the author of many Scots poems, who was born Jan. 25, 1759 (died July 21, 1796). The suppers are normally held on or near the poet’s birthday, known as Robert Burns Day (or Robbie Burns Day or Rabbie Burns Day) but more commonly known as Burns Night.
Tickets are available at the legion or by emailing Don Reiter at 403-613-0196 or email nightslide@gmail.com. Cocktails are at 6 p.m., the dinner starts at 7 p.m.
