[April 27, 2023]
To
celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of “Return of the King,”
the third movie of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, the Arlee will host
showings of the Extended Edition of the trilogy, especially focusing on
a fan-focused marathon event.
Sponsored by Leveldale Farms, the Ultimate Fan Marathon will start at
10am on Saturday, April 29 and play the extended edition of all three
live-action films back to back. Snacks will, as always, be available at
the Arlee’s concession stand (including special themed snacks and
beverages), plus there will be an option for attendees to order boxed
lunches from Subway, delivered in time for Afternoon Tea of course.
Special prizes will be available for the pair who win
the “Sam & Frodo Award” - the person who travels the furthest to get
to the event, and the person who helped get them there (whether they
were the one who told them about the marathon, gave the most
encouragement, provided transportation, or assisted in some other
way).
Bring the whole fellowship, and Second Breakfast is
on the house! Any nine heroes that attend the event together will be
given rations of Lembas bread, to help satisfy them during their
trial of cinematic endurance.
Costumes are encouraged, but not mandatory.
