What is Bilbo Bagginss Birthday Party?
Bilbo Baggin’s Birthday Party is a traditional Program event held once per summer. As the name suggests, it is basically a birthday party for the legendary hobbit Bilbo Baggins, with refreshments suitable for a birthday party. In addition to the refreshments, there is a reading from The Hobbit, with the book being passed to several different readers. When the party ends, the place in the book is marked, and next year’s party begins its reading where the last left off. Because this is a combination birthday party/bedtime story, participants wear bedtime clothing suitable for mixed company (pajamas, robes, modest gowns, etc.) and usually bring pillows, blankets, stuffed animals–whatever they need to stake out a cozy spot on the floor to listen to the story.
