Wow. You are saying you let them know AFTER Pennsic had started and
they still managed to bring one in?

I think that this shows that despite some comments there are folks
who do take extra effort on behalf of the disabled. That a blanket
statement about not working with the disabled doesn't apply.

Making such changes after the event starts is certainly more
expensive that being able to plan for this ahead of time. Also,
rather than simply replacing a standard unit with a handicaped
unit which would cost more, they added an additional handicaped
unit which costs even more. To be able to do this within 24 hours
it sounds like the folks in charge already had some contingency
plans. Huzzah for these organisers.
