Pennsic is an annual war, with the main contenders being the East and
Middle Kingdoms. It is the largest recurring event in the Laurel
Kingdoms, with attendance in 1996 of just under 10,000. It has taken
place since 1972, and has been held at Coopers Lake Campground near
Slippery Rock, PA since 1977. The main battles of the war are held the
third weekend in August, with other activities taking place the week
and weekend preceding that. Pennsic was so named from "Pennsylvania"
on the model of "Punic." More information can be found at
