31 January - Burns Nicht

This year's Williamsburg St. Andrew's Society Burn's Night Dinner will be held on Sat. night January 31, 2009. The festivities will be held at the Colonial Heritage Country Club located on Richmond Road in Lightfoot. This year will mark the 250th Anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, so we are planning some special events for the evening. The evening will of course have the traditional round of toast, presentation of the Haggis, piping and presentations that make for a fine evening. We encourage everyone to put the 31st of January on their calendars and get out their finest Scottish attire for an evening of fun and celebration.
