Since out Burns night is held at the local bookstore it is a "dry" event, so that shouldn't be a problem for you to plan around either. The links already posted should give some pretty good advice about hosting a Burns Supper. Be sure to get someone with a good speaking voice to read some of the poems of Burns. It helps if several of you would do a little research into the particular words being used by Burns since a lot of them are not normally heard here in the midwestern USA.
