LOCAL WEATHER: Pennsic is held every year in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, near Moraine State Park, north of Pittsburgh and south of Erie. The nearest on-line weather location is Butler, and the weather in Slippery Rock is identical to Butler's for all practical purposes. Based on my 10 Pennsics, I expect the weather to be anywhere from hot (100F+) to coolish (60s-70s) during the day and from warm (80F) to cold (35-40F) at night. There will be at least one big storm, possibly more, with high winds and rain. Because the weather for the last three years has been very pleasant, I expect next year (2000) to be absolutely awful. But it won't matter, a bad-weather week at War is still better than a good-weather week anywhere else.
SITE PICTURES:
Architecture, anyone? On-site architecture can get quite elaborate.
Interested in fighting? There are a number of different sites that feature good pictures of Pennsic battlefields, including the Mountain Pass Battle and others.
