The Well Turned Out Gents at Amarillo's Burns Night
A fine looking group of gents, and one beautiful lass. A good time was had by all, including copious scotch tasting, a fine piper from the Amarillo Fire Department pipe and drum corp, a spirited reading of Address to a Haggis, live performances of music and poetry, and a rather bawdy newly found "lost" Burns manuscript.
My amazing wife made venison meatballs with ale gravy, shepherd's pie, and a haggis that had folks asking for seconds.

I'm glad to hear that a good time was had. It would be a shame to have so many look that good and the evening be a bust. Cheers

Being of Irish decent both on Mother's side and Father's side It comes to me that Irish at any event, Liven the event up, enjoy copious quantities of "Uisge Beatha",......and are never afraid of asking for another helping

Me too, Jack. We were down a bit in participation. Past years it was at St. Andrews Episcopal Church and they really turn out. But this was a great group, about 60 total.
