Halfway To St Patricks Day Wing Nite
September 26, 2009
The RCFF Pipes & Drums would like to thank everyone who came out to support the Band. The turn out was great and we hope everyone had a good time. The wings were great, the beer was cold and the Live Band and the Pipe Band sounded wonderful. We would especially like to thank the Hillcrest Fire Department for providing us with the venue for the event as well as the members of Hillcrest FD, who helped us set up and cook all those wings, a job well done. We would also like to thank the band "Second Nature" for once again providing us with such great music. Thank You all again for helping to support the RCFF Pipes And Drums and making this nite a very special event.
