The Badge above is dedicated to all Minnesotan Scots, whether you are of Scottish descent or a Scot living in Minnesota.
This is Polaris, the North Star, and like the North Star the text is offset five degrees from true North in this pin.
The phrase around the badge is
“A Guiding Star of the North”, in Gaelic.
Minnesota Scots, Wear it Proudly!

build awareness and connections.

Whisky Tasting Benefit
6:00 PM on Saturday February 25th
at the Minnesota Transportation Museum, located at 193 Pennsylvania
Ave. East in St. Paul. We encourage everyone to get there early
to tour the facility.
Our Whisky Wench, Fiona MacNeill
will be leading us on a tour. This event will deal with Whisky in
Popular Culture and Fiona has selected four Scotches that have appeared
prominently in print and movies over the years. While this is a
different kind of tour, it should prove very entertaining and
informative, and Tasty!
We are also happy to announce
that we are expanding the tasting to include a professional cigar
roller. Maria Caram Ibarra will be joining us to show us how
hand-rolled cigars are created. She will be demonstrating both
before the tasting starts and during our break during the event.
All of the cigars rolled that night will be for sale at $10.00 per
cigar.
Cost will be $30.00 for the event. All
proceeds benefit the Scottish American Center and the Minnesota
Scottish Fair and Highland Games. For
tickets, contact Jack MacMillan, John Peterson, John McKeen, Lyaman
MacPherson, Don Cogswell, Cathy Juenemann, Dave Dooley, Neil Johnson,
or Debra Crane-Lance. If you need help contacting any of these individuals, please email the webmaster. |
