The Crown depends on largesse for the many gifts distributed during a reign, from Newcomer Cups to gifts for East Kingdom Territorial Coronets to Royal Gift Exchanges with other Kingdoms. We welcome largesse from across the Kingdom.

The East Kingdom toy chest is a wonderful tradition and a way to interest and involve the youth in court. It also helps the youth feel like they have a place in, and a connection to, the SCA.

So, you can't go to Pennsic this year. What do you do to get through?

Do you tend to work on crafts and make WAY too much stuff or find new ones that you definitely don't have time for.

Comment below!

A battle re-enactment is underway with many participants in medieval armor and clothing engaged in a skirmish on a grassy field. Swords, shields, and other period-appropriate weaponry are visible. In the background, there's a small structure that looks like a castle wall. The sky is blue with some clouds. The words "Can't go to Pennsic? What do you do to get through?" are written in a calligraphy-style font across the top of the image.
