<font size="2">Greetings unto our good friends in Steirbach this hot
and muggy day.</font><p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial,
sans-serif" size="2">Pre-Pensic
Panic is reaching a fevered pitch, so it is only right that we look
forward to the Post Pensic Dessert Revel! Wonderful prizes are on
offer for the best Pensic No S* story as well as the best bruise.
Not going to Pensic? We have something for you too! Bring your best
story about why you couldn't go to Pensic and vie for Lady Teleri's
prize.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">The
recent
discussions of the costs of events serendipitously coincided
with a generous donation to the glorious Barony of Storvik to offset
some of the site fee. Yes, the Post Pensic Revel suffered a blow as
the site increased the rental fees by a substantial amount this year.
But, due to this generosity, we are able to lower the fee by a
dollar to $9 for adults! And the opportunity exists to reduce your
cost by another $2 by bringing a dessert or other yummy dish to serve
8 or more. </font>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">Contests!
Prizes! Raffle / Door Prize! The Most Wonderful Auction!</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">Lady
Teleri
the Well Prepared is sponsoring a contest for the best story
for why you could *<b>not*</b> be at Pensic. Were you held for
ransom? Your castle besieged? Tell us the story! The prize will
include a lovely horn and a complete set of the Pensic Independent.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">Best
Bruise
Contest! To be determined by popular acclaim, the best bruise
should have developed to a spectacular array of colors by Post
Pensic. The best of the best will garner a bottle of bruise juice
and whatever else catches the autocrat's eye.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">Door
Prize/Raffle
- An incredible amber necklace set has been donated
from far Drakenwald. Everyone who signs in will get a raffle ticket
– thus the door prize element. Additional tickets will be
available for purchase. If the Their Majesties have made Their
decision, we will have the Nexcellency(ies) draw the winning ticket.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">Best
Dessert
– Period and Chocolate</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">A
fine tradition! The desserts will be judged then offered to the
populace for consumption. Yum! Being a Viking Barony, the prize for
best period dessert will include a copy of Viking Age Headcoverings
from Dublin. The prize for best chocolate dessert has yet to be
determined and there may be other prizes as well.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">The
“No
S***, There I Was” Story Contest</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">The
grand
finale of contests for this traditional event! To be judged by
Their Excellencies in one of their last official acts, bring your
stories from Pensic to regale all who were there or wanted to be
there. Again, the autocrat has not determined the prize, but it
will not be to run next year's event.</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">And
last,
but not least – the Grand Silent Auction and Yard Sale!</font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><font face="Arial, sans-serif" size="2">Many
treasures
are being found in corners of castles and being brought
forth. Come and search through the many items being donated to help
support the fighter practice and other activities of the barony.</font></p>
