We'll be at Shirefest at the Oscar Foss Memorial Library in Barnstead on August 15th! Stop by our booth to participate in a quest for a good luck potion!

Shirefest–our SRP finale–is Saturday, Aug. 15, from 10:00-3:00.

Fellow adventurers, hobbits, wizards, and elves: Gather your cloaks, your curiosity, and perhaps your second breakfast for Shirefest at the Oscar Foss Memorial Library!

A day of whimsy awaits with tasty food and drink, hands-on activities, magical discoveries, and plenty of unexpected delights. You can craft your own sword and shield, weave a flower crown, and enjoy face painting fit for any wandering hero. Along the way, you’ll also find local herb-lore, a StoryWalk, trinket trading, a scavenger hunt, a costume contest, musical performances, and local vendors offering unique treasures. We will also be featuring contradancing at 10:00 a.m.!

Keep watch on this page: https://www.oscarfoss.org/shirefest and the library’s page for updates, announcements, and fresh bits of Shire-worthy news.
