Address to a Haggis at Mackenzie House

Yesterday, Dad and I went to Mackenzie House for their Robbie Burns celebration.
We really went to see the "Address to a Haggis".

To read the Robert Burns' poem and it's translation, you can check out this website:

Paul Federico did the address and he also explained what it meant.




I got to help out again when he asked for volunteers.

Paul Federico is a really talented orator. He is able to convey exactly what he means by using his tone of voice as well as his body language and he does it in two languages too!

They had dancing and they had the harp again this year.
You can see my blog post from last year to get an idea of what else was going on.
