We are planning to have three main contests:

1) a trivia contest during which everyone’s knowledge of all things Tolkien will be tested;
2) a costume contest open to all ages
3) and again the popular impersonation contest, where participants outshine each other in their rendition of lines from the movies (this year, including the Award-winning documentary Ringers: Lord of The Fans)

Of course, this is a potluck event, so we need all attendees to bring as much food, drinks, plates, utensils and napkins as possible. For any information regarding the picnic and for food contributions please contact Arwen@theonering.net.

We hope to see many LA Ringers on Sept 24th in Griffith Park, for what is always remembered as a party of special magnificence!

Directions:

From south: Take the 5 North to the Griffith Park exit. At the first stop sign you reach, turn right onto Crystal Springs Drive. When you reach the first stop sign, there should be a big sign for the "Merry Go Round." Turn left, and follow the road up to the top of the hill. Pull into the parking lot on your right (don't worry, there's plenty of parking). Follow the music to the Merry Go Round. We will be at the bottom of the hill a little way from the Merry Go Round next to the tennis courts.
