Journey to Middle-earth with the German Tolkien Society’s (Deutsche Tolkien Gesellschaft) Tolkien Day (Tolkien Tag) this weekend, June 14-15, 2014. As reported on the German Tolkien Society’s site and on thetolkienist.com, Tolkien Day will offer a variety of activities, workshops, food, cosplay, and more, all focused on exploring and illuminating Tolkien’s world and work.

This year’s Tolkien Day will be held in the village of Pont, a suburb of Geldern in the Lower Rhine region of Germany. Visitors will be able to immerse themselves in Middle-earth as they listen to talks by Tolkien experts, shop in Middle-earth themed shops, play games, try out their archery skills, listen to music, and eat enough to make even the hungriest Hobbit happy.

Author: Valdís is a classic nerd, with many geeky interests, but her life-long love of Tolkien rules them all. She was completely hooked the first time that she read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings at age 8. Since then, she has read the books at least once a year, and delves into Middle-earth at every opportunity with a fervor that would make any dwarf proud. She also deeply loves Peter Jackson’s films, and defends them staunchly when need arises. When reality forces her out of Middle-earth, Valdís is a university professor, a wife, mother of two daughters, and servant to two cats.
