Midsummer's Delight
(formerly known as War of the Roaches)
June 28-29, 1997
The Canton of Whyt Whey, in the Crown Province of Østgarðr,
will sponsor a weekend camping event in the wilderness of Brooklyn,
with all profits earmarked to pay for a winter fighter practice site.
The site is Floyd Bennett Field, a Federally owned former airport,
now converted to a wildlife
preserve on a wooded peninsula jutting into Jamaica Bay.
Dogs are allowed on leash.
Again, the site is owned by a Federal agency, and we want to make a good
impression: be extremely careful with glass containers, leave the site cleaner
than we found it, and absolutely no illegal substances or underage drinking.
Since the agency that owns the site won't
allow us to rope off areas of the park for fighting, fencing, or archery,
and we can't do those activities safely without roping off an area for them,
the organizers have decided to hold the event anyway (so there!) without
fighting, fencing, or archery; it's become an overnight bardic event and
warmup to Pennsic (a good opportunity to test all your equipment before
War).
