| | | Eureka Springs AR Burns Supper
Just a "wee snippet" of the Burns Supper in Eureka Springs, Arkansas last evening. To be quite honest, I didn't get as many photos as I hoped to, and some of them didn't turn out well. 
The company enters the Crystal Dining Room of the Crescent Hotel to the sound of the pipes. 
One of the pipers plays "Hector the Hero", a song about Gen. Hector MacDonald, "Fighting Mac". 
The Burns Supper was held in the historic Crescent Hotel, which sets atop Crescent Mountain in Eureka Springs.
More to follow...
Todd

Panache read your toast to the Nor Cal Rabble, Todd...and responded. I'm sure you'll be hearing about it!

As a native Arkansan, I love to photos of the hills and the supper.
Thanks for sharing, Todd.

It looks like a wonderful venue for a Burns Night.
So were there any spirits seen this evening? (The Crescent Hotel apparently
has a reputation for being quite haunted)

I miss hills and trees. Looks like a grand site for your Burns Supper.
YMOS,
