September 22 is......
National Hobbit Day!! :lol: :rollin:
I've found a website of bizarre American National Holidays, and apparently September 22nd is National Hobbit Day. I'm encouraging everyone to celebrate it, even if you don't actually live in America. Isn't the 22nd Bilbo's and Frodo's birthday? |

The site is library.thinkquest.org/2886/INDEX.HTM
I think it has a holiday for every day of the year. Some days even have two or three holidays. |

The gif lacks the transparent areas but somehow I thought it suited the occasion. |

Re: September 22 is......
I couldn't find these guys on the web anywhere!
*** Organization: The American Tolkien Society (P.O. Box 373, Highland, MI 48357-0373, USA). Information from Paul Ritz, P.O. Box 901, Clearwater, FL 34617, USA (Phone (813) 585-0985). Activities: The ATS is an educational organization which will try to answer questions or refer the questioner to the appropriate person(s). They provide materials for Hobbit Day (22 September) and Tolkien Month (September) and produce annual lists of Tolkien In-Print Items and Tolkien Organizations. The ATS organizes the Shire Messenger Service which provides free copies of Tolkien's works to former Iron Curtain areas. *** I have not attempted to contact Mr. Ritz to check into it further. If it is still on the books, there ought to be a hoopla every year in each major city. Seems to me New Line would want to get something like that going... |

Re: September 22 is......
National Hobbit Day? Well, as long as it doesn't become a Hallmark Holiday, it's fine with me.
Actually, its a pretty cool idea, IMO. Hobbits deserve a national holiday. And it being on the birthday of two of the most famous hobbits is the perfect time for it. |

Re: September 22 is......
Hobbit day? Entmoot a year old? we do need to have a weeklong party. maybe now we can storm a castle as people have suggested for other less-major events. or just pour Rogaine on our toes.

Re: September 22 is......
Has anybody got something more on National Hobbit Day in America?
I did a couple of Alta Vista searches and came up with the above information and a lot of calendar sites that simply name it. There must be a Federal Registry somewhere, an official Proclamation... |

Re: September 22 is......
Well, I say that on this auspicious occasion, we need to have a Party. With fireworks. And it had better snow food and rain drink.

Re: September 22 is......
wouldn't it be a great coincidence if there were exactly 144 active Entmooters around for this Party?

Re: September 22 is......
It's much like Christmas. The exact day isn't important.
It's the thought that counts! |

Re: September 22 is......
Eveyone spread the word, maybe they can have an annual Hobbit Day Feast at the White House or something if it becomes popular enough
