Once again, calling all Tolkien fans for HOBBIT DAY

September 22 is designated as Hobbit Day because it is the birthdate of two of JRR Tolkien's main characters - Bilbo Baggins and Frodo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist of Tolkien’s hugely popular 1937 children's novel, The Hobbit, was born on September 22, Third Age 2890. Frodo Baggins, the central character in the LOTR trilogy, on the other hand, is 78 years younger than Bilbo, having been born in the Third Age year of 2968.

Fun Fact:

• There is some debate whether Hobbit Day is on September 22 or September 12, as the LOTR and Hobbit calendars does not synchronize with the Gregorian Calendar.
