Tartan Day-Flag Raising
We had a typical April day in Saint John yesterday April 5, from a light rain/snow combination to hail, but this did not deter our mission, as the members of the Saint Andrews Society of Saint John(my self included) held a flag raising with his Worship, Norm McFarlane(Mayor).
After a short speech form one of the Society members, a prayer, and behold the Saltire was waving in the wind.
With a quick jaunt to to Pete’s Pub, a few pints, a few had a meal…. and as we sit enjoying a pint we hear the pleasant sound of a lone piper followed by highland dancers, and into market Square they go… for the announcement of 2007 Canadian Scottish Dancing Championships held at harbour Station July 4-8 2007as of yesterdays date approx.250 dancers had registered for the event.
A final note, a great time was had by all, and one of the Societies biggest turnouts for Tartan Day
