been there a couple times, and had thought every time i went, that the
site NEEDED to be used for an SCA event.. there are permanent booths for
merchanting, porta-potties are in a space behind screens, water fountains
are EASY access all over the place.. and from the recent thread in the
Rialto, the place is astoundingly handicapped-accessible..

i would suggest, tho, that it only be used in the spring/summer/fall
time.. there's no great hall, nor is there a large kitchen (that i saw) 
so it would have to be an informal feast at best.

well, I'm in Kapellenberg, and i would be willing to drive down for a
weekend spruce-up of that site, if we could use it for the occasional
event...
