After a roast beef dinner at Ainsley Golf and Country club, the Ontario Overlanders assemble for a group photo.

After dinner, we drive to Victoria Park to see the Pipe and Drum band assemble to begin the parade through town.

The pipe and drum band leaves Victoria Park and marches down Queen Street about a mile. Townspeople line the street and join in behind the band to march to the turning point about a mile up the street at a small plaza. Hundreds of people, happy to be together - neighbor chatting with neighbor as they walk along behind the skirling pipes. It was a lot of fun to be part of this small town Saturday event!

Back at the park, the pipes and drums play a 20 minute concert including the haunting stains of "Amazing Grace".
