Canada Day party

I got this Invitation to a Canada Day Party, Joan the hostess asked me to pass the info onto the rabble, SOKS or anyone else in the G.T.A. are more than welcome to come. Here is the information


JULY 1st
The Clans Gunn & Macdonald of Clanranald
Cordially invite you to the
2nd Annual Canada Day Ceilidh Highland Games & Burns-B-Q

Place: 33 Cartwright Avenue

• Gathering of the Clans at 2:00pm
• Games start at 3:00 p.m.
Shot Put, Tossing the Caber & Sword Dancing

As Tradition holds only those wearing a kilt may participate in Games.
Those who don’t wear kilts have the opportunity to recite a few wee lines of Burn’s for their dinner, and a chance to try a wee bit of tartan for themselves.
Books and words will be supplied for those who might need them
Music and Entertainment all day Featuring the Sea Sick Sailors Band, Sandi Marie and Guy, & other locals and Guest Musicians (Minstrels are welcome to bring instruments)

Potluck, B.Y.O.B. & 1 piece of fireworks

We will supply the Burns-B-Q, (a wee sleekit cowrin, tim’rous beastie of some sort.)

B.B.Q. by Steve, the Scots/Newfie

We hear from the Laird that he suspects Clan Graham has been cattle rustling again and number of our sheep and cows are missing therefore:

The Laird, Markuz of Clan Gunn, has posted a reward for the person or persons catching the leader of the bandits who will be flogged in public, with a wet noodle and will return our sheep and cows to their rightful owner,
Laird Markuz of Clan Gunn.

Fireworks at dusk

RSVP in the following ways:

thistleandwine@hotmail.com

Facebook:
Joan O’Hanley

PHONE (P.M. Myself, Joan O’Hanley, or Markuz for phone number)
Hope to see you all soon

For out of Towners and Friends from South of the Border, there are few bedrooms available.

As well if you would like to camp before and after the Party there is ample room in the back garden, provided you bring tents and sleeping bags etc….

Well, I'll be a little busy that week at work, so I won't be making it.
But I will be working on my MacDonald of Clanranald kilt after work.

Sounds like a fine party... T'would doubtless be fun to attend; I just don't fancy the 10-hour drive round-trip. I'll have a dram in your honour! Cheers.

Aye the 10 hour drive is daunting, but there is camping available.
