The BURNS DINNER 8 April 2022 - combined Tartan Day celebration.

The evening was filling and fun. Christies brother, Wil Urquhart of Urquhart - Colonel Wilkins Fisk Urquhart of Urquhart, 28th Chief of Clan Urquhart was our honored guest, and a fine figure he was. He gave a wonderful speech, joined by Alex Murray and Bill Kennedy at the head table as they presented the evening entertainment. Bill sang the Star Spangled Banner with resounding skill, and was joined by those present. The speeches given were educational, but also a lot of fun. They did a grand job.
Alex Murray gave the Ode to the haggis and it was excellent. The toast to the ladies in the style of Burns was given by Bob Morehead with Ida giving the toast to the laddies. Joe and Tim Walsh helped escort the haggis. Brian McElhinney piped and later did piping along with his daughter Meghan. Perfect musicians. Amy Carter and Julie Kennedy played their violins. Alan Irwin played the guitar and sang a series of Burns tunes. Bill Sentelik managed the microphones and music for the evening and did his usual outstanding job. Ida Morehead baked a Burns birthday cake. It was joined on the dessert table by contributions from many of those who attended. Liz Belvin organized the Auction - says it's for the last time if anyone would like to take that chore over. Thanks Liz, for all your good work. Jim Frost and Dave Alison greeted folks and tried to keep order as everyone arrived. Thanks guys.
The Tigh na Creige Highland Dancers, under the direction of Christie Urquhart Walsh, performed beautifully to much applause. Christie went on to direct the rest of the ceilidh dances, including the grand march and a finale of Auld Lang Syne.

Food guru Alex Murray says:
"I order my stuff from Cameron's Scottish Market, in Brick, N.J. We found it when Beth was with the FeeBees and we lived in "Noo Joisey". The baker/butcher is a Paisley "Buddy".
Outside of Summer months, if you order by Tuesday, standard shipping, it will get here on Thursday. Just in time for a Scottish Saturday breakfast- Tattie Scones, Lorne Sausage, Black pudding and fried eggs. A true heart attack on a plate and all smothered in HP sauce too. Not forgetting to wash it down with a strong cup of Ty-Phoo or PG tips! I also highly recommend the Scottish Breakfast Pies, Haggis Puffs & Steak & Ale Pies too! I've never had a complaint about anything I've bought from them it's all Grrrrrrrrreat!" [Cameron's Scottish Market - 284 Brick Blvd, Brick Township, NJ 08723 - www.cameronsscottishfoods.com/]
