SC - Plastic Ware

[Elaine Koogler]

We are able to have more camping events as there are a fair number of
campgrounds around, so we do manage to use our camping equipment several times a
year.  However, we have the situation where a lot of our folk are fairly new and
cannot afford a period pavillion...or don't have a place to store all of that
lovely canvas and wood.  So our encampments wind up being a combination as
well...though more and more we are moving to canvas.  But I suspect we'll always
have our "nylon ghetto" as we fondly refer to it!
