You're invited to wear plaid and help "celebrate" the Scottish New Year. According to Chautauqua, it's December 6th!
The Treats, And Then Dance Party!
Included in the ticket price is a traditional Scottish treat, Shortbread baked (and donated) by the Land Trust's own Sarah Spaeth. These will be hand delivered to everyone in attendance immediately following the Vaudeville Show.
