It has been our pleasure to offer a “groaning board” of edible treats for everyone who attends our annual bagpipe concert. Our goal is to provide a table that compares with the wonderful table of magical food served to Hogwart students in J.K. Rowling’s popular “Harry Potter” books! 

Here is list of the typical treats we serve at the reception, along with links to recipes or the source of these goodies. Enjoy!
