Invasion of the Morris Dancers


Does anyone know how Main Street in Falls Village became the stomping ground where several troupes of Morris Dancers annually gather to perform after a full day of touring Northwestern Connecticut? They put on an exhilarating, entertaining show, which has become a Falls Village institution. Indeed, kids such as Elijah Stone like to dress up as Morris Dancers and, as I recall, a photograph of Elijah in his costume ended up on the front page of the Lakeville Journal a few years ago.

The Morris Dancers are due to perform on Main Street around 6:30 PM this Saturday. It's street theater, it's a block party, and it's free.

PS:
The future Falls Village Community and Cultural Center at 103 Main Street will be open for tours on Saturday evevning if you didn't get to snoop around inside on Memorial Day. The FVCCC will also be selling popcorn and lemonade outside.
