The finale to the War of 1812 celebration at Leamington Marina on Saturday, July 28 was a meal billed as General Brock’s Officers’ Mess. Attendees who paid $35 each for the privilege began piling into the sold-out event at 5:30 p.m. Many, like Mayor John Paterson and Councillor John Jacobs (and their beautiful spouses) came in period costume, adding a delightful, festive aura to the evening. The Mess began with an address to the guests by General Brock—Bob Rennie—who presented a rousing historically accurate portrayal of an English General confident in his cause and determined to accept only victory. Before the meal began a special treat was presented: members of the Hart School of Highland Dance were piped in and presented a series of historical dances, starting with a sailor’s hornpipe and ending with a Highland reel. Members of the dance troupe included Helen Sui, Fiona Rocheleau, Amanda Smith, Heidi Janzen, and little Ainsley Rocheleau who performed a Highland sword dance. It was hard to believe that the historically accurate meal could be so delicious, but it was. Best of all, it was based on locally-grown produce and fire-cooked meats. Certainly the head table, consisting of General Brock and members of Leamington Municipal Council, appeared to thoroughly enjoy it! The party continued with music provided by B.J. Laub & Friends after the meal. Two points worth note: no fighting broke out between the American and Canadian attendees, and a fine time was had by all.
