St. Andrew's Dinner and Dance
In November of each year, Scots around the world pay tribute to
St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. (The
official day of recognition in Scotland is November 30th.) In keeping
with this tradition, The Scottish Society of Dallas sponsors a formal dinner and
dance which is generally held the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The evening
features live pipe band music provided by the
North Texas Caledonian Pipes & Drums
and demonstrations of Highland dancing by Fiona Alpaugh's,
Dallas Highland Dancers.
The evening concludes with dancing (a variety of music is provided for
all ages) including an opportunity for our guests to try their hand at a number
of traditional, Scottish Country Dances!
The event is usually held at a hotel
in Richardson, Texas, in the general area of Campbell Rd. and Central
Expressway. Location specifics and additional information for the
November 20th, 2010,
event will be posted here, as soon as it becomes available.
