Two faces of Cape Breton will be on display Thursday in San Francisco, where classic "kitchen party" music and food will be used to pitch the island's future to business leaders, academics and expatriates.

At the Golden Gate Yacht Club, noshing on traditional island food including seafood, jams and a dessert known as Cape Breton Pork Pie, guests will be entertained by Howie MacDonald and Robbie Fraser.

"We possibly might even give them a little step-dancing lesson," Mr. MacDonald said. "Our job is to provide some Celtic music and encourage them to come to Cape Breton."

The reception is being held in the latest port of call for the Cape Breton Clipper. Turned by taxpayer money into a floating billboard for the Nova Scotia island, the 68-foot-tall ship is competing in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
