Welcome to the Season of Love in Canton of Gryphonwald.  From Chaucer to Shakespeare, and everyone in between, Love has often been a source for poetry, literature, song and dance, and so we too will use it as our Muse.  Come join us for The Black Gryphon Inn as we drive the cold of winter away with warm food and companionship.  Not only will we serve up traditional fare at our Feast but we will also be celebrating the traditions of love through our Period Dancing, Brewer’s competition, and Bardic Competition to award our Baronial Bardic Champion for the new year.  

Returning from last year will be our “Works in Progress” A&S Competition and weather permitting….Kubb.  So come and celebrate Black Gryphon Inn by exploring the traditions behind the feast of St.  Valentine’s Day.  We’d Love (see what I did there?) to see you there.
