For Honor, Glory and Laughs
Seven Laurels, seven pelicans and many silly weapons are ready to take the field but they need your help.

These peers face off with boffer weapons to raise money for the Pennsic war chest, which funds Pennsic costs such as the hospitality tent and royalty dinner.

What weapons the peers use depends on how much money they raise. Raise $25? They head out with just a dagger. Raise $100? They could head out with a flying octopus or a frying pan and spatula. See www.laurelsvspelicans.com for information on how to donate and the weapons levels.
In addition to the weapons, the peers can have theme music played for their moment of glory. Baroness Sabine de Kerbriant will play entrance music for a peer on her rauschpfeife for a $20 donation. Some peers have listed musical choices. Others are leaving it up to the donor who gives $20 to the Pennsic war chest to make their intro happen.
