The website will be going down in the next month due to the end of service for the domain name. We are going to let it expire due to the site being moved to Dragon Con webspace. Once this is done and we have the site back up and running, I will post again. For the time being, please, watch the facebook page for any news and updates.

Unfortunately due to prior professional commitments, Scott and Brenda Maple will be unable to attend DragonCon this year. However we have some GREAT news! Clifford Scott “Quickbeam” Broadway will now be attending and has generously agreed to be our new MC!!! Much fun to be had!
This just in – It is very possible we could be adding yet another quest to our list for this year’s Tolkien Track! Sylvester McCoy has just been added to the guest list for Dragon*Con 2011!! For those of you who are unaware of him, he has been filming in New Zealand for the upcoming Hobbit movies in the role of Radagast! He is also very well known for playing one of many Doctors in the Doctor Who series. We are working on getting in a panel with him at this very moment! So stay tuned and we will keep you updated!
