Scottish Society Summer Picnic
July 20th from 12:00 noon until 4:00 pm
The Society annual picnic will once again be
held at Lower Allen Community Park (4075Lisburn Rd., Mechanicsburg, PA). We will be at the upper pavilion. For those
unfamiliar with the park, this is a covered
pavilion that does require a short walk from the parking area.
Strap on your kilt, grab your shillelagh, and hold on to your potatoes—the Celtic nations have come to revel in Mount Hope! Enjoy a good stout, a scotch egg, and show off your calves all weekend long. (Note: This is NOT the Celtic Fling & Highland Games event that occurs in June.)
