Town Criers
The Pennsic Town Criers post information once per day on the 26 signboards located throughout the town areas of Pennsic - in the Food Court and at many of the bus stops and intersections around the campground. This includes daily updates from the Mayor, official event notices, and bus routes.
Postings for the boards can be dropped off at the Town Criers table or at Information Point.
Please do not remove the notices or maps from the boards! —instead, take a photo for reference.
Volunteers—We can always use help posting info on the signboards, as well as putting together the daily updates. Please stop by the Town Crier table in Town Hall. We have a cool, shaded area and charging points you can use while you volunteer.
