Bilbo's Birthday Retreat
September 19-22, 2024
Thompsonville, MI (just 45 minutes South of Traverse City, MI)
"I hope you are all enjoying yourselves as much as I am. I shall not keep you long. I have called you all together for a Purpose. Indeed, for Three Purposes!
First of all, to tell you that I am immensely fond of you all, and that eleventy-one years is too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits.
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
Secondly, to celebrate my birthday. I should say: OUR birthday. For it is, of course, also the birthday of my heir and nephew, Frodo..." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring
Join Liza and special guest Kayla Lobermeier of the Under a Tin Roof for a very special retreat in celebration of Bilbo (and Frodo!) Baggins's birthday (which is September 22).
