What a fantastic event! Unique, weird, wonderful and totally inspired. Middle Earth & possibly the world have never seen anything like it! We saw everything from hobbits to royalty, modeling wacky outfits or garments of great elegance, and there was even a cloak made of real, living grass! Thank you to all the willing participants, the models, and the audience for such great participation in this fun-filled evening.

Special thanks to Shalome Bassett for her superb organization and professional compering, John McCallum for music and ambience, Bruce Campbell for jollying everyone along and oiling the wheels, and Jane Lancaster whose crazy idea it was to start this back in 2002!
