BRIGHT LIGHTS

NORTH VANCOUVER’S Water-
front Park masqueraded as the
Scottish Highlands last Sunday,
for the Kiwanis Club of North
Vancouver's seventh annual
Day in Scotland.
When they weren’t trying to
dodge the rain, visitors enjoyed
Scottish entertainment, includ-
ing a number of pipe bands and
a massed band finale. The
Scottish folk music of Rob
Stewart and the Elgin Express
roused the crowds into a hearty
sing-along.
Highland country dancers of
all ages from the Nan Wilson
Dancers, North Shore Highlan-
ders and the Gleneagle Scottish
Country Dance Club showed
onlookers that they could “fling”
with the best of them.
Traditional Scotch pies were
served up at the cook shack,
along with perfunctory hot dogs,
chili, cheeseburgers and soda.
Event organizer Ken King said
Scottish fare was kept to a mini-
mum: “It’s hard to serve haggis
in a bowl.” i retin te
