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.

(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!

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.

Are there 'hotel' tents? Do you stay with allied households? Giano <<< 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.

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!
