Time to eat!

My girl finally gets to recite "To a Mouse" she did great and we were so proud of her!

The head table watching Tom present a very silly limrick

Elise (Mrs Farlander) welcomed everyone to "Camp Robert Burns" for an unusual and fun Immortal Memory (She is a State Park Intrepreter by profession)

Can't have a campfire program without a campfire...

It was a great presentation

My Dad and Star

Formal skunk pelt headgear? That's just the way the Nor Cal Rabble of XMTS roll.

It was that sort of a Burns Night Supper, full of silliness, fun, laughter, joy, and a great appreciation for the life and works of Robert Burns.

Cheers
