"Robbie Burns Day" observed - Over 100 attend dinner in St. Andrew's Hall

Robbie Burns and the haggis go hand-in hand and in Portage, no Burns' Day celebration is complete without Bill Murray. In the photo, Mr. Murray, right, gives Scotland's traditional dish the last once-over before being "piped in" by George McDonald of Winnipeg. At the left is Andrew Turnbull, who addressed the haggis to open the annual event at the St. Andrew's Hall Thursday evening.
