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.
