[MR] Pennsic Water Challenge

[Stefan li Rous]

Gracia Esperanca, Baronesa, Black Diamond, asked:
<<< Last year a challenge was set forth... water was needed for our  
troops at Pennsic.  Atlantia in all her generosity responded with over  
300 gallons!  The amount was staggering and yet we still ran out of  
water before the end war. With every passing day, War draws closer and  
once again the challenge sounds.   There is no minimum effort.... no  
one should give what they can not, but any effort is vastly welcomed  
and appreciated and every gallon of water is a great help. Can we beat  
last year's numbers? >>>

Perhaps this is clear to everyone, but I'm not sure.

Are you asking for gallon containers of drinking water to be imported  
to Pennsic from elsewhere or are you asking for empty containers which  
can be filled up at Pennsic?

For those unfamiliar with Pennsic water, it is safe and drinkable, but  
it has a high iron content which many people don't like, and if you  
leave a bottle of it out in the sun, it begins to turn a disconcerting  
brown from the rust.

So if you have room to throw in several gallon containers, I'm sure it  
would help. And you can fill that space with goodies from shopping on  
the way home. :-)
