Why hullo there! I am guessing you have come about the rumours? Well I am afraid they are true: Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is the official Yule-planner for the Hobbiton Yule-feast! It's dreadful, simply dreadful, I tell you! She has already announced that we will be getting nothing more than harvest-vegetables at the feast. The nerve of some folk!
Lobelia also told us that we ought to end the festival early this year, what with all the roustabouts that have been coming in...says it isn't safe for decent folk to stay up late outdoors. Naught but vegetables and an early bed... what is a respectable hobbit to do!
What's more, no one in Hobbiton is rightly sure how she came by the title. For years, old Mad Baggins held the position, and in turn Frodo Baggins took it after his disappearance. Something isn't right about the whole affair. Do you think you would be able to help us set things to rights?
Background
It appears that Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is the Hobbiton Yule-planner.
Objective 1
Inquire among the Hobbiton-folk for an explanation of Lobelia's post as Yule-planner
Objective 2
Sandyman's Mill is north of the bridge over the Water in Hobbiton.
Ted Sandyman's unusual behaviour might suggest a need to search Sandyman's Mill for anything out of the ordinary.
Objective 3
Will Whitfoot is at the Town Hole in Michel Delving, far to the west of Hobbiton.
You should report your findings to Will Whitfoot, the Mayor of the Shire.
Completion Dialogue
Lobelia Sackville-baggins is trying to cheat Hobbiton out of their Yule-feast? I would love to help, but I fear my hands are tied in this matter.
Lobelia came not a month ago seeking the laws relating to local Hobbiton feasts. If I remember correctly the Hobbiton-law states: Whosoever resides in the Hill at Bag End shall be charged with the planning and coordination of all local feasts and festival-activities and shall preside over said feasts in the absence of the Mayor.
This law being a holdover from when the Baggins family was the chief residence of the Hill. Because the law was not changed or a new planner appointed, there is simply nothing I can do.

Walkthrough
- Talk to at least one of the people of Hobbiton with quest rings over their head.
(It's helpful to activate the Show Trivial Quest Icons option in the UI Settings, although this will show all unfinished Hobbiton quests.) - Talk to Ted Sandyman at the turning water mill just north of the bridge over the Water in Hobbiton.
- Go around to the back of the mill, and look for an invitation on the floor of the little deck at the rear of the mill. Pick up the invitation.
- Travel to Michel Delving and talk to Mayor Will Whitfoot near the Michel Delving bank at the Town Hole.
