The Middle Earth Festival will be held in downtown Vacaville, CA starting today (April 7th) until April 10th. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s tremendously popular “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, the festival will coincide with the 50th anniversary of Houghton Mifflin’s publication of “The Fellowship of the Ring.” The Middle Earth festival is family-oriented and features numerous old-time demonstrations including: chain-mail making, calligraphy, spinning and weaving. Artisans, crafters and food vendors will add to the festivities. Many other activities will help draw participants into the Middle Earth experience. [More]
