Here are some recent and upcoming appearances by Griffin's Corners Morris. Further information to
be added as available. Some of these are, ahem, less certain than
others. Especially the future ones. It may be wise to write
to confirm these are happening as scheduled before flying in from
Saskatchewan to see us:
Thornden Park, Syracuse. An annual welcoming of allergy
season since 1981. Hosted by
Thornden Morris
with other guests the
Bassett Street Hounds,

Griffin's Corners did not dance at
the water tower this year, but did perform "Black Joke" at
SUNY-ESF later in the morning.

27 May 2003 (7:00 pm): Great Western Morris visit
Onondaga Lake Park, Liverpool.
Thornden Morris
played host to
Great Western Morris
of Exeter, Devon, UK on their American tour. The
Bassett Street Hounds
were there too. It seemed doubtful Griffin's Corners would dance at this one
due to lack of musician. Turned out Maria was able to make
it, and we did two jigs.
