    burns night on the prairies

    I'm looking for some info on Burns suppers in Winnipeg January 23 or 24. or Calgary on the 25th. Im going to be travelling on business related activities and will miss the one in Red Deer. Failing that if Calgary or Edmonton are having one after that I might make that. Anyone with info would be appreciated?

    I lived in Calgary from 1979 till Jan 2008, when I moved back to Manitoba. That was the plate I ran on my Durango in AB. I'm too cheap to get one here.

    I'll wait to see what they do about changing the plates here before I consider splurging for one here. I think having a MR Kilt plate that then says FRIENDLY Manitoba under it may look disturbing to some

    Hahahaha!
    On the plus side, vanity plates are alot cheaper here than they are in Alberta. I just find I'm not wearing my kilts daily here like I did in Calgary, so the plate wouldn't really reflect my personality as much.
