I am planning on my Five Wizards costumes Esty. I think this will be bigger and better than Aston 2005, I am so looking forward to it.

There are numerous Tolkien events In The West, but probably no or few members here who know about them and pass on the information. Of course, the fact that JRRT was English means that there is more focus on him in his home country.

Are there any US Downers who know of Tolkien events State-side and are willing to post the dates and locations here? Or Canadians, or Australians, or...
