Greetings:
Contact the Grimms Tent folks at:
150 Smith Ave.
Sharon, PA 16146
(412) 346(8)-4952 --the type on the phone number is really small - you
might want to pay the $.50 to call information and check.....
To rent a 12 x 12 for a week is $145.09. This is from a price list dated
as good through Jan 1994-----so check.
If you are renting a Grimms, be sure your Land Agent for the Land
Lottery knows, as it will affect their status in some way.

Call:
Grimms, Inc
150 Smith Avenue
Sharon, PA 16146
1-800-552-5457

Tell them your calling for a tent for Coopers Lake in August. (Most of
them know it's called Pennsic War, but just in case you get someone new at
the job.) They'll ask you for a 1/3 deposit with the remainder due at the
end of July.

FYI on some sizes and prices (all prices include the 6% sales tax):

9' x 9' $137.22
12' x 12' $152.35
16' x 16' $211.58

These are the prices given to me in February. Give them a call, they are
very helpful!

Try A Gather in Time. They do great tents. My tent is very peiod
looking and withstood the Monsoon of Pennsic 25 with little water getting
inside. I wouldn't think Bryanna would mind me posting this for her.
And since she rents tents, I'm sure she has used ones.
