Just read this in today's newspaper...

Gordon Sinclair, owner of Gordon's Fine Meats, once again honours Scotland's national bard, Robbie Burns, with his annual haggis toss across the mighty Bow River.
The toss is set for this Sunday, the 23rd, at 12:30pm.
Sinclair always improves upon the mechanism used to hurl the haggis across the river. Sinclair says customers of his built this years machine, a trebuchet, which is a catapult-type device used to hurl heavy missles like rocks, or in this case, a haggis.
"It's a fun thing. This year we're confident it will work."
The event starts with a march to the river. The parade, led by the Calgary Police Pipe Band and a contingent of wenches, warriors, and anyone else who wants to join in, will kick off at 12:30 pm from the Prince's Island city parking lot adjacent to Memorial Drive.

I plan to attend the event, and encourage any of the local Calgary kilties to join in as well. I've never been to one of these before, and apparently they've never managed to get the haggis completely across the river. Should be fun!
