Is there generally a ceremony for the change-over? I hadn't heard of it,
routinely, but I have never attended Pennsic (yet). Am I expected to attend
any particular event that I have not yet been told about? Need to adjust my
travel plans for the Spring/Summer if so - and they are pretty jam-packed at
the moment!
