(2007-05-12 - Site opens at 10 AM & Closes at 6 PM)
Sudentorre
Have you ever wondered what the Pennsic Children’s Fete would be like if it were a full day instead of a few hours? And if it had martial activities and competitions added to it? Children, have you ever wondered why your events are off in a corner while the adults get center stage? Parents, have you wanted a way to introduce your child to all of the things that they can do in the SCA? Well, wonder no more!

The website has links to online maps for directions. Note: if you are coming from the south most computers want you to get off I-95 in southern Stafford County and then come up back roads. Unless you know Stafford County, or are comfortable following computer directions, the Event Steward does not recommend this. You will most likely not save any time by getting off I-95early. The links are here more to provide you an easy way to estimate how long it will take you to get to the site.
