: What is Pennsic? Where/when is it?
: thanks

Pennsic is an annual event of the SCA (Society for Creative
Anachronism). Basically, the SCA is a group that researches and
recreates the Middle Ages. Here's a link for info on the SCA:
htp://www.sca.org/sca-intro.html

Pennsic, or the Pennsic War, takes place every year during the 2
weeks before and including the 3rd full weekend in August (sounds
strange, but that's how they pick the dates.) It is in Slippery Rock,
PA, which is in the western part of the state (about an hour from
Pittsburg I think, maybe less). This year it runs from August 3 to
August 19. Many people attend only the second week. Pennsic is full
of parties, classes, shopping, and battles. It has around 10,000
attendees, all of whom must make an effort at wearing pre-1600 CE
garb. It's required. Accomodations are tent camping only. (unless you
want to commute from a hotel). More info can be found at:
