Palm Aire’s Rick MacLeod may have been at his place of employment on a Saturday night, but he didn’t mind.
Instead of tending bar at the Palm Aire Country Club, where he’s worked for a decade, MacLeod was dressed Jan. 20 in a kilt and dancing across the dance floor with his wife, Doris. The couple and others in their Thursday night dance group, the Sarasota Scottish Country Dance Group, led a demonstration of Scottish dances during the Burns Supper.
The event, organized by the St. Andrew Society of Sarasota and Burns Club of St. Andrew, celebrated the 259th anniversary of the birth of Scottish poet and lyricist Robert Burns.
“This is really cool to be at my own club,” Rick MacLeod said.
Palm Aire resident and St. Andrew Society President Carl Morris and his wife, Mary Lou Morris, co-chaired the event, which celebrated all things Robert Burns. The night’s festivities began with socializing and a cocktail hour and continued with the presentation in of the haggis, toasts to the laddies and lasses and Scottish dancing.
