Pastoral Pursuits
Event Navigation
Leave the frivolities of the court and lounge with friends in nature, enjoying the slow life during this relaxed picnic in the garden!
BRING A GAME, TEACH A GAME
While lounging around in the garden, join us in some historical games. If you have a favorite classic children’s game or fun pastime for everyone, bring it along and teach your fellow guild members how to play it! We will bring our croquet set as well for everyone’s use.
THE GREAT HOBBIT BAKE-OFF
If you think your baking should be the envy of Sackville Bagginses, bring your best creation to share and take home the Grand Prize and the bragging rights as big as the Shire!
The Grand Prize will be a fabulous set of tea spoons that even Lobelia Sackville Baggins would gladly take home.
(Please include a list of ingredients with your creation for dietary restrictions/allergies, an appropriate serving utensil, and unleash your creativity with the naming of your masterpiece!
