[That is the assumption at this time.  I'd like to reiterate the fact that
details of any sort are still EXTREMELY sketchy and that the whole thing is
quite nebulous.  But you know me; I can't rest until I bulldog it to
death.]

Double and triple check this before going any further, folks!  I don't know
about this particular Renfaire, but the merchant booths/cottages/pavilions
at the Maryland one are PRIVATE PROPERTY, owned by the merchants who sell
from them.  My understanding is that this is one of the reasons that we
can't use the MD site, because they are afraid of damage to these
buildings.


[This particular RennFaire is, AFAIK, owned lock, stock, and barrel by one
group of people.  They bought the land and built the site.  The "merchant"
booths probably aren't privately owned since they're part of the scenery.
But I'll check.  ]


[Let's not get too excited, though; essentially I'm just in the
hypothetical "Wouldya couldya ain'tya gonna if I asked ya wouldya wanna"
stage.  If there's enough "local" interest I'll pursue it, if not, well, we
can dream, can't we?]

And no, I'm not a real big country music fan.  I get too much by osmosis as
it is.  Yee haw.
