Thumbs up Houston, Burns' 250th Dedication

Here in Houston there is a bust of Robert Burns (along with other notables) in the rose garden of Hermann Park our big downtown park and rec area. The bust was erected by the Houston Heather and Thistle Society 5 years ago, and they have a ceremony there on the Sunday following their Burns Supper.
