Second Breakfast Club: A Celebration of Tolkien

Celebrate the legacy of Professor Emeritus Michael Foster and the world of J.R.R. Tolkien at the Second Annual Tolkien Event. Explore our growing Tolkien Collection, enjoy a potato bar, and learn about fan culture through zines—plus create one yourself. With food, crafts, and community connections, this event offers a fun and meaningful way to honor Tolkien’s work and Foster’s impact.

Special guest Hildisfon Took (Gary Hunnewell)—owner of the world’s largest Tolkien fanzine collection and a longtime colleague of Mike Foster—will give a talk on zines from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, sharing selections from his collection and insights from the Tolkien Studies community.
