For those who are suffering post-Pennsic withdrawal symptoms, the Barony of Stor vik once again presents the Post-Pennsic dessert revel. It will be held from 6 until 11 p.m. at the Saint Andrews Episcopal Church in College Park, Md., the same place as last year.
The evening will feature the traditional war story contest, telling us what you did or saw or heard, (or thought you saw), at the War. There will also be dancing (musicians contact Felicia). The hall is not air-conditioned so dress appropriately.
To slake the thirst of all the dancers and storytellers, the barony will provide lemonade, iced tea, and wine. Church rules allow only wine to be used. We will provide some desser ts but gentles are encouraged to bring their own favorites. A kitchen is available for warming or refrigeration. There will be a prize for the best period dessert - minimal documentation should be provided for those in competition.
Fees: $4 with a dessert, $5 without a dessert, $2 children 5 through 12. Please make checks payable to the Barony of Storvik/SCA, Inc.
