Tonight was a perfect evening for the start of
Gillespie Week. The
Jacobites Bagpipers slowly paraded down to the beach at
O'Leary's and thrilled the crowd with a rousing and spirited performance.
Jeff LaHurd was on hand to sign copies of his just released book, "John Hamilton Gillespie, The Scot Who Saved Sarasota" as everyone vied for a chance to get their photo taken with the Father of Sarasota.
Next Up: Tuesday October 25th, from 4 - 6pm, is a historic buildings tour and dinner catered by the Broadway Bar and hosted by the
Historical Society of Sarasota County. $20 event, call 364-9076 to reserve. And next door at 6:30pm a bagpiper will welcome guests to a free
DAR Roundtable discussion about Gillespie with a reception and book signing to follow.
