Hello there, good <class>!

You may have noticed that there is a special event is going on: our very own Anniversary! There are festivities taking place in many locations, perhaps you'd like to know the particulars?

While the event is under way, you will find that there is a Beer-brawl in Thorin's Hall, Fireworks Shows in Bree and the Shire, Horse-races at the Horse-fields and Delving fields, and a great number of tokens to be found all over the world. You may trade these tokens for special gifts and profit greatly from such simple tasks as fighting evil in Middle-earth.

Go and explore the different festivities, and be sure to return here at night to participate in our marvelous firework show!

Background

Every year in the spring, the Anniversary Event takes place to celebrate a very special occasion.

NOTE: This quest will be removed from your quest log when the current festival ends.

A spectacular fireworks display occurs every night on a hill above Bree-town. Winston Peartree, at the fireworks area near Bree's North-gate, will happily introduce you to the event and get you participating in it in no time.

Winston Peartree: 'Welcome to the show! Are you here to take in the sights, or maybe you would care to participate instead?
'There is nothing quite like the fireworks show we have here in Bree. We gather every night during the festival and set off quite the display! Feel free to join in the fun and be rewarded for your efforts. You won't regret it, friend.'

The Methel-stage, just south of Bywater in the Shire, is the location of a spectacular annual fireworks extravaganza. Gandalf himself has donated fireworks for this event, which is hosted by the Hobbits of Bywater. Help is needed to make this the largest spectacle it can be!

Milo Brockhouse: 'Welcome, welcome! If you are a fan of fireworks, then you have come to the right place! This stage is home to the Shire's annual fireworks event, and no one does it better than we do.
'Gandalf the Grey has been kind enough to provide us with enough fireworks to have a spectacular show this year, but we need volunteers to help us set off all of the launchers.
'Feel free to come celebrate with us as much as you would like... a new show starts every few minutes!'

Gísli Strongclub: 'Welcome to the Festival Arena! This is where the Battle for Glorious Beer takes place. We have a fine brew this spring, and I am sure people will want to compete to win the limited supply.
