  3rd Annual Formal Burns Night - Oakland Scottish Rite
  Put on your finest attire and celebrate the 3rd Annual Formal Burns Night with us! Immerse yourself in the rich traditions of Scotland as we honor the great poet Robert Burns in a delightful evening, replete with live bagpiping, Scottish dancing, fiddle playing, and a 6-course gourmet meal of the first order. This includes seared loin of elk with blackberry-herb demiglace, with sides of neeps and tatties Orkney Island-style, royal venison haggis and peas served with the best butter in the world (and that's just the main course!), as well as rare whiskies and a magnificent location hosted at the historic Oakland Scottish Rite (OSR) building.
  
  You will be pleased to note there is ample free and secure parking at the OSR!
  
  Dinner for everyone will be starting promptly at 8:30. Guests should arrive by no later than 8:15, as we will be starting promptly at 8:30 and late guests may not be accomodated for the dinner.
