A Month in Laurelin - September 2019
Events
September has been a busy month for all, so there was not too many celebrations this month. Yet, whilst there were only a few, there was plenty of excitement and fun to be had!
Bard's Day ~ "A day to remember the writers of the tales, poems and songs we treasure today. A selection of tunes related to one of the finest writers we have seen, master Ronald Dwale."
Hobbit Day ~ "An unexpected party! Today is both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins’ birthdays. To celebrate these wonderful Hobbits please join us at the Party Tree below Bag End (their home) for fireworks and a fun gathering."
The Freasburg Faire ~ "Once a month, travelers from the West-March to the East Fold journey to join the locals at the Hold's Faire at Fréasburg. Merchants, players' troupes, storytellers, and more gather to sell their wares, tell their tales, and hear the King's news."
Keep an eye out for more events in the upcoming month of October; there are already some interesting ones listed so far!
