After the fun and success of last years unorthodox whisky tastings, Rubright & Hardagain are back !!!!

Whisky tastings by Rubright & Hardagain, feature Will Rubright and Dick Hardagain, often referred to as the Scottish Abbott & Costello of whisky educators, collectors and connoisseurs of fine single malt Scotch. Rubright & Hardagain’s whisky tastings are educational and highly entertaining, a unique opportunity to learn about and enjoy single malt Scotch whiskies.

The only thing guaranteed is a laugh and of course a whisky or two!

Here are a few basic guidelines for entry:

A Limerick is a kind of witty, humorous or nonsense poem of five lines, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, which are shorter, form a rhymed couplet.

The rhyme scheme is AABBA

Here’s an example:

In a quaint little town they call Tulsa,
There was a SCOTFEST with a dance floor made of balsa
With pipers and dancers
And Celtic beer drinking prancers
No-one noticed the Mayor dancing Salsa

Remembering;

John McLearan; a long time member of SCOT, has passed away at the age of 54, due to ongoing health problems. He was an active member of SCOT for 12 years and had served on the games board in years past. He graduated from Booker T. Washington HS and graduated from T.U. with a degree in business. He is survived by his son Zeff, 19 yrs old who lives in St Louis MO.

Bob Laird; of Clan Lindsay passed the morning of September 3rd.

Hal Burdick; August 21st was a sad day for our S.C.O.T. family.  Longtime Scottish Club member Hal Burdick passed away.  Hal will be missed as he was and always will be remembered as one of the biggest supporters and proponents of the club and of Scottish culture.

Corey Bon Hall was born June 21st, 1986 in Corpus Christi, TX.  The son of Von and Angela Hall and brother of Caleb Sean Hall, Corey was a member of the SCOT Club as a child. He was a longtime and regular visitor to the Oklahoma Scottish Festival and in recent years was proud to bring his daughter Charli, age 5.  Those who knew him remember his generous nature, protective spirit, and awesome smile and sense of humor.  Corey passed away September 16, 2010, just one day before last year’s festival start.  He was buried in proud Scottish tradition wearing his kilt to his cousin Colton Hall piping.
