Facebook https://www.facebook.com/events/561832750509033/

Join us for a family-friendly celebration of the beloved Tolkien work, The Hobbit, just before the exciting new film is released. You'll find Middle Earth in the 3rd floor ballroom of CSMA, on Wed Dec. 12th! 330 E State Street Ithaca NY 14850 6-9pm

The aim of this event is to bring Middle Earth to life and celebrate literature and art in a super fun way!

Here's what's happening:
*COSTUMES - Dress as your favorite character or Middle Earth race an display your creativity!

*POT LUCK - Bring you favorite Hobbit-like dish to pass! We'll be posting links below for ideas, but the books are full of info on food eaten in Middle Earth. Hobbits love to eat!

*GAMES - Riddles, trivia, sack races, and more! Be the first to find the One Ring...

*MUSIC & DANCING - We'll have live Irish-style music and Contra dancing, as Hobbits love to celebrate and dance! The (rough) musical plan is Sundown Sally at dinner hour(6-7?) followed by a contra dance (music by Michael Ludgate and the Wed Jam) immediately after that for an hour or so (7:15-??) followed by a fiddle tune jam session. All while the folks and children of Middle Earth are frolicking and playing games.

*OPEN MIC - SHARE YOUR ART - for all those who want to practice their poetry skills, act out a scene or skit, or share their own ending of the story. For both the wee ones and adults, please message us to sign up for a slot! There will also be a table to display artwork and get feedback from other Middle Earthlings.

We'll have other fun stations around the ballroom, including The Lonely Mountain.

A small donation of $5-$10 per family is requested to help cover the costs of the event. All proceeds above and beyond will be donated to Northern Light Learning Center.

Please share with your friends! If you would like to donate food or prizes for the event, please message me ASAP.
