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.

Check with Medieval Miscellanea. They rent pavilions. (Only other source
for Pennsic IIRC.

I don't assume Pennsic has 'crash space', so how is this handled
for overseas visitors? Are there 'hotel' tents? Do you stay with allied
households?

While you can get a Grimm's rental tent to camp in, they are sold as
"shade, not shelter" and you never know what the condition of one will be
when you get there. I have known many folks that had to go get a blue tarp
to put up inside their tent to keep wind and water out. You can probably
find someone that is willing to share tent space or bring a small tent for
you, especially if they get you to pre-register your space within their land
allotment.

I just thought I would let people know I did in fact find one. In
Slippery Rock there is a place called Miller's Crossing. They make beds
and other furniture as well as sell Panther pavilions and you can also
rent one for this year!
Their email & number are: mmillerscrossing2 at yahoo.com 724-530-6687
