Day 249: First, I'd like to thank Squire Dan for capturing our Father's Day performances and making the photos available to members of the side. We are Sound & Fury Morris!
Our Father's Day venues included the Ballard Farmer's Market where we danced at the bell tower before an appreciative audience of a hundred people or more. We performed in rotation with the Morris Offspring, the four children of our side's members. We then moved on to Hiram Chittenden Locks (aka "the Ballard Locks"), dancing on the plaza between beautifully manicured gardens. Again, we drew a sizeable audience, and I'm sure there will be hundreds of photos of us surfacing across the globe as people post highlights of their summer holidays. I was surprised by the number of people who recognized Morris dancing, but of course there were also a lot of questions along the lines of, "What country is that from?"
All in all, it was a great day, ending off with the traditional pub stop at a cidery, and the delightful camaraderie of the side.
