Tonight, the life and work of world reclaimed Scottish Poet, Scottie Burns will be honoured in Arcola at the Legion Hall.

The evening includes readings of his poetry and lyrics as well as bag pipe performances and dancing.

However, Don Stewart with the Arcola Legion Hall explains that traditional Scottish cookery is bound to be one of the highlight events of the evening followed by a special opening ceremony.

"Robbie Burns Night" occurs annually throughout the world and has proved popular in many areas including Southeast Saskatchewan where the show sells out every year.
