Greetings, Hobbit friends! It is I, Eowyn, your roving reporter, coming to you with news concerning A Long Expected Party, being held in Shaker Village, Kentucky beginning on September 25th. Word has reached my ears that all of the rooms but seven have been rented at the Village, so if you have been thinking about coming, now is the time to act. As a bonus exclusive, a local photographer has snapped a shot of the much-rumored Bag End, being built by the organizers, to be proudly displayed during the event.
