Mayor’s Office, March 2026

The snows are retreating (yeah I know, never trust April) and the temperatures are rising. If you close your eyes you can already smell the campfires and the cooking and hear….. Well what do you hear?

My first SCA event was Pennsic 35. I knew nothing, and aside from my companion, no one. I was in “garb”, sort of. Pictures are well hidden. But I haven’t missed a Pennsic since. One of the things that kept me coming back was the music. It was everywhere. You literally walked from one music bubble into the other. In time I played some myself here and there.

Alas, slowly the music has had less and less of a presence in Pennsic public life, and for years I promised myself that if I ever became Mayor, I would try to bring some of that spark back. And here we are. A plan has been hatched to bring more music to the stage utilizing the Amphitheater by the store. A fine team of volunteers, consisting of Master Sylvanus the Drummer (OL), Master Donovan the Drummer (OL), and the Lovely Audrey have been assembled to put together an entertainment schedule and coordinate the events.

Look for forthcoming information from the Music Team!
