On the eve of All Hallows, in the year two thousand and twenty-six, the Bauers open the doors of Hollinshead Barn for an evening of revelry, mischief, and the marking of another anniversary. The barn shall be dressed, the bar shall be open, and the costumed shall be welcomed.
Come as someone you are not. Bring an appetite. Find someone you don't know to talk to. The party runs until ten. Stay to the last ember.
After the twentieth-anniversary blow-out at Portland's Multnomah Arts Center two years ago, we may have settled into the rhythm of it: every other year, somewhere worth showing up, the costumed get welcomed back.
This is the second of those — and the first at Hollinshead Barn. Come for an evening of revelry. The doors close at ten sharp — though the night, if you've still got it, carries on in downtown Bend.
“It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.”
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Middle-earth is welcome at the barn. Hobbits, elves, rangers, the occasional wizard. The hosts will be coming as Arwen and Strider — round out the Fellowship if you're so inclined.
