"Hobbits are an unobtrusive but very ancient people, more numerous formerly than they are today; for they love peace and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well-farmed countryside was their favourite haunt."

"And laugh they did, and eat, and drink,
often and heartily,
being fond of simple jests at all times,
and of six meals a day (when they could get them).
~The Fellowship of the Ring, Concerning Hobbits

Pippin Took

"’Do Elves live in those woods?’ he asked.
’Not that I ever heard,’ said Pippin. Frodo was silent. He too was gazing eastward along the road, as if he had never seen it before. Suddenly he spoke, aloud but as if to himself, saying slowly:
’The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.’"
-The Fellowship of the Ring, Three is Company, p. 86-87
Hullo and welcome to the Shire, the land of the Hobbits! Whether your visit to our wonderful kingdom is short or long, I hope that you will enjoy your time here. Whether you’re visiting family, stopping by for a night at one of our famous pubs, or just stopping by on your journey across Middle Earth, take some time to see all that the Shire has to offer. I am honoured to be serving as your Mayor, and I hope to see you in the Mayor’s Office, or perhaps even the pub!
