Join us for a celebration of Robert Burns Day (Burns Night), honouring the life and poetry of Scotland's national bard. We'll mark the occasion with a traditional wee Burns Supper featuring haggis, neeps, and tatties, accompanied by a Scotch tasting.
Dr. Dove will bring this history to life, drawing on his research and his forthcoming documentary, Packaging Fun: London's O-Pee-Chee Company. He'll speak to the significance of Glencoe's own O-Pee-Chee ghost sign — confirmed by Dr. Dove himself as authentic O-Pee-Chee signage, and, by his estimation, among the largest of only a handful still surviving in Canada, making the case for its preservation as a rare and important piece of regional heritage.
Bring along a family heirloom, artifact, or “mystery object” from the past to share with the group. Let’s make history interactive, personal, and fun!
