Every year, four lively hobbit families reunite during the transition from Spring to Summer. This has been a long-loved
tradition for generations, as they celebrate the turning of the seasons, the health of family & friends, the glory of bragging rights for their family and all-around showcasing the best of all Hobbitses. It started as a lovely outing between friends and grew to include more family and friends until it was simply too large to be so infrequent in planning.
Another problem was, too many Hobbits felt snubbed if they simply weren’t thought of upon invitation. Well, that sorted it. It’d have to happen so that everyone would receive an invite, with not too little notice. Since then, the families have become (rivalries aside) fast friends. The event celebrates the turning of Spring to Summer, the health of family and friends and good-natured competition.
