The 39th Great Pennsic Wars
July 30 – August 15, 2010
There! On the horizon it looms, the Great
Pennsic War. Are you ready?
A great deal of work goes into preparing for
visiting the Pennsic. It is a great deal of work
and can be most daunting for new people.
Even experienced SCA members spend great
deals of work getting there gear ready, garb
made, camp decorations created, food and
party planning and so much more.
Hopefully this can serve as a quick guide to
help people get prepared.
Packing list: see web site link to right
Garb: Keep in mind that Pennsic can be hot,
dry, very wet or balmy and combinations of
all. You need garb for the day and spiff garb at
night to go party in.
Food: There are food courts. You can save
money by bringing food but kepp in mind. If it
needs to be heated up you will need to start a
grill or a fire. If it needs refridgeration you will
need ice. Chef Boyardee out of the can has
fueled many Scadians.
Beverages: Yes…. Hydrate often. And if you
are drinking a more festive spirit make sure to
drink plenty of water. Once again ice may be
a factor.
Fun.. Yes.. Have plenty of it. Pennsic is too
much work not to be fun.
Be Safe: Pennsic doens’t make you invulnerable.
Don’t get stupid and risk death or serious
injury. Play and Party Smart!
