Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation slates Burns Night Celebration
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
The Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation will host its annual Burns Night Celebration on Saturday, Feb. 1, at Beale Manor, 200 S. Church St., Parkesburg. The event will take place from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., and the price of admission will include live entertainment, food and drinks that are unique to Scottish culture.
When guests arrive at Beale Manor, they will hear the distinct sound of a bagpipe ringing through the halls of the historic home. Bagpiper Tyler Destremps will
continue to perform until all guests have arrived, and the celebration will kick off with a social time and a second musical performance by fiddler Tom Knapp. After Destremps and Knapp set the tone for the evening with traditional Scottish compositions, Charlie Zahm will lead a haggis ceremony. The time-honored ritual will include a tasting of haggis, a savory dish that is made using the heart, lungs and liver of a sheep. The meat is minced with chopped onion, oatmeal, suet
“Anyone who wants to learn more about others’ culture is welcome.”
and a medley of spices and broth, and ingredients are customarily cooked inside the sheep’s stomach. In addition to offering a tasting of haggis, Zahm will discuss the cultural significance of the Scottish delicacy. The ceremony will conclude with a tasting of Scottish whiskey.
Although haggis has been enjoyed in the United Kingdom since the 15th century, the meal was made popular by “Address to a Haggis,” a poem that Burns published in 1786.
In Burns’ poem, he describes the ingredients of haggis and marvels at its image and flavor.
Shortly after “Address to a Haggis” was published, the dish became officially designated as the national dish of Scotland, and the poem is typically recited during a haggis ceremony.
A supper buffet will be served after the haggis ceremony. Food options will include haggis, Angus beef, red lentil soup, salad and trifle, as well as neeps and tatties, a dish made from mashed turnips and potatoes.
After supper, attendees will be invited to commemorate Burns’ life with toasts, speeches

Local area does Groundhog Day a little bit differently
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
Of the many holidays and centuries-old traditions observed by modern-day Americans, few are as peculiar and whimsical as Groundhog Day. The annual celebration became enshrined in popular culture in 1993, following the release of the comedy film “Groundhog Day,” but the holiday and its many eccentric festivities originated several hundred years ago. Although many people associate Groundhog Day exclusively with Punxsutawney Phil, many communities across the United States have their own preferred prognosticator, including Quarryville.
For the past 116 years, the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge of Quarryville has hosted a community event on Feb. 2 to celebrate Groundhog Day and to determine the prediction of its hibernating governor, Charles N. Hart. During the annual celebration, Hart will make his forecast for the remaining length of winter after consulting Octoraro Orphie, the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge’s mascot. Octoraro Orphie is a taxidermied groundhog, but the stuffed rodent’s less-thanlively nature doesn’t keep members of the lodge from honoring Orphie’s annual prognostication.
The prognostication serves as the centerpiece of the annual

event in Quarryville. The Slumbering Groundhog Lodge typically dispatches multiple observation squads of its members
to report on whether or not Orphie has seen his shadow, and the reports are delivered to the hibernating governor. Once
all reports are in, the governor announces his forecast atop “The Pinnacle of Prognostication,” a manure spreader that the lodge reserves specifically for the annual ceremony. The announcement is customarily followed by an address from the lodge’s defender of the faith.
In addition to the elaborate prognostication ritual, the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge’s annual celebration features various festivities related to Groundhog Day. In recent years, the event has involved demonstrations of the traditional dance known as “the groundhog jig,” as
well as a performance by the Groundhog Marching Band.
Every year, Quarryville’s Groundhog Day ceremony includes the initiation of the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge’s new members. The initiates, referred to as “baby groundhogs,” convene on each Sunday in January to prepare for “Baptism by Fire and Water,” a ritual that involves taking an arctic plunge in the Octoraro Creek. After emerging from the ice-cold water, the baby groundhogs squat beneath an antique cannon, which will be fired above their hindquarters

to ratify their membership in the lodge. This year, eight baby groundhogs will complete the initiation ritual.
Bill Forrey, otherwise known to his fellow Slumbering Groundhog Lodge members as Orphie’s Lip, recalled the day a close friend convinced him to join the group 34 years ago. “He said, ‘You should think about becoming a groundhog. You know a lot of people down there. You just have to wash dishes a couple Sundays in January,’” Forrey said with a laugh. “It turned out to be a lot more than that.”

As a Lancaster County tradition that is more than a century old, the Slumbering Groundhog Lodge’s annual celebration is an amalgamation of many elaborate rites and decades of local history. The group’s headquarters is located 8 miles south of Quarryville, and the majority of its membership comprises residents of the Solanco area. However, many of Octoraro Orphie’s faithful followers hail from various parts of Lancaster and Chester counties. The members are given different assignments based on their area of origin, including which reporting squad they will join on Groundhog Day. Men such as Forrey, who grew up in Millersville and now resides in Manheim Township, and those who have been members for less than six years, are known as congeneric members. Until the congeneric initiates prove their loyalty, the other members keep a close eye on them.

and readings of the poet’s works. Charlie Zahm will present “A Tribute to Robert Burns,” a show that will incorporate Burns’ writing and traditional Scottish music. As the evening concludes, Zahm will invite guests to encircle a piano and sing Burns’ songs together.
“I think people with Scottish heritage enjoy celebrating it, but that’s not to say (Burns Night) is not open to everybody,” said Donna McCool, who co-chairs the annual event alongside John Girvin. “You don’t need to have Scottish ancestors to participate, and Beale Manor is a fabulous venue. Anyone who wants to learn more about others’ culture is welcome.”
In 2018, the Octorara
Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation held its inaugural Burns Night Celebration at Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Church in Quarryville. The event quickly became popular in the local community; after the first year, the foundation changed the location to Beale Manor to accommodate the large number of guests who wished to attend. Proceeds of ticket sales will benefit various ongoing restoration projects and maintenance at Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Church. Last year, the money raised by Burns Night helped to repair damage caused by a bat infestation in the old church.
