Annual Fundraiser Planned for Irish Pipes and Drums

The Irish Pipes and Drums have always lent their support to local community events and are front and centre in the annual St. Patrick's Day parade. Seeing the band dressed in their Irish saffron kilts and green capes as they lead off the parade always raises the pride level of our heritage.
The Whiskey Tasting Night is always a fun evening with food, beverages, door prizes, and of course, pipe music.
It also provides a unique opportunity to sample various types of uisce beatha ('the water of life'.) A great
