It's not the local health inspectors that are the problem. It is that
the Pennsic rules now explicitly say that slaughtering of live
animals during Pennsic is forbidden. This was due to an unfortunate
incident which resulted in a wounded animal running amok through
part of Pennsic.

When Phlip taught her class during Pennsic several years ago, we
made arrangements to do this offsite.

That maybe a lot for one class. Is this going to be a hands-on class?
Or more of a demo one? I hope you will be making more announcements
here closer to Pennsic. I'm afraid I won't remember the details, and
maybe not the class, if I only see the info now.
