Laurels and Pelicans Get Silly For The Kingdom
This year’s list of Laurels and Pelicans has been announced for the Laurels vs. Pelicans boffer melees. The fundraiser will benefit the Pennsic war chest. Peers are given weapons based on how much money is donated in their name. They can take the field at Panteria with something as small as a dagger or as fantastical as a giant scorpion. To support your favorite peer, go to www. laurelsvspelicans.com. Any peer who hasn’t signed up and wants to should send an email to the organizers.
Available weapons and their cost are:
Dagger – $25
Sword – $50
Sword and Shield – $75
Specialty Weapon – $100
