A nice idea Flame of Anor!

One could look at it that way. If there was a power in the ring to protect a certain place Gandalf could have decided on the Hobbitton - as he had no other clear favourites it seems. Well Thranduil's hall could be a tempting place for protection to compete with the Hobbitton... but anyway, not too far fetched.

Looking at the long calm with the hobbits it might be argued Gandalf's ring did it... but then again in the LotR it's said quite straightforwardly it was the rangers of the North who protected the country even if the inhabitants didn't know it.
