Asphodel the PR Hobbit writes: The Ohio Ring Council (ORC) is proud to announce that we will be celebrating the birthdays of our favorite hobbits, Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, at our version of the Long Expected Party in Canal Winchester, Ohio on Saturday, September 18th. Details and directions are available at ohioringcouncil.com.
“The Long-Expected Party” will be the first annual party in central Ohio hosted by the Ohio Ring Council in celebration of all things Tolkien, Middle Earth and Lord of the Rings. There will be feasting, games and activities, live celtic music, dancing, and general partying and fun to be had. The spirit of Middle Earth and Hobbiton will be brought to life with decorations galore, much of which was hand-made by ORC members. All in all, this will indeed be ‘a night to remember’, and we hope all fellow fans attending the party will agree!

For others, it’s famed hunter and bowyer Fred Bear, clad in his trademark flannel shirt and snap-brim fedora. But for today’s youngsters, the lead image is a flaxen-haired elf, nimble, calm and deadly accurate — whether firing arrows in rapid succession or even a pair of shafts simultaneously. [More]

“The dragon is coming or I am a fool!” he cried. “Cut the bridges! To arms! To arms!” Thus the people of the lake-town, Esgaroth, are warned of their approaching doom. As Smaug vents his fury on these innocent villagers, it seems that nothing can save them from the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities. But things are never quite as bad as they seem. [More]
