[Ponte Alto] URGENT Pennsic Encampment News

[Lady Cassandra Arabella Giordani]

Clarification: my previous message was for tents that DO NOT have ropes
sticking out taking up extra space.  We're adding another 3 feet per
dimension (width/length) for tents with ropes, for a total of 6 feet extra
per dimension (3 ft per side).

Sorry for any confusion.
