Condon Elks to host 'Burns Supper' Saturday

For many years the community of Condon has been known to show its true Scottish colors by celebrating on the birth date of Scotland's national poet Robert Burns. The Condon Elks Lodge will continue the tradition by hosting a Robert Burns Celebration Saturday, Jan. 27, at the Lodge, 117 S. Main Street in Condon. Doors will open at 5 p.m.

Perhaps less extravagant than some in the past years, the event Saturday will feature a traditional 'Burns Supper' of Scotch Eggs, Cullen Skink Soup, Tatties, Neeps and Mince; accompanied perhaps by a wee dram. The event will also feature a Shortbread contest, entertainment by Andrew Jamieson, and music by the regionally known Andy and Emily Cary of Whisky for Breakfast, mainstay performers at the annual St. Patrick's Day Celebration in Heppner.

Attendees are encouraged to come along in their favorite kilts and tartans and with their favorite Rabbie Burns poem or song to share.
