I spent a while talking with some of the people involved on Thursday 
afternoon. It truly is a lobour of love for them, and I'm amazed at the 
level of effort and pride of workmanship that goes into this set up!  
Apparently it takes them about 3 days to set it up.  The main structure 
is made up primarily of carports, with plywood facades attatched where 
needed.  Many of the decorative items are also the personal property of 
household members, and they bring them out to loan to the cause every year.

One of them bought a bus and removed all the seats.  The bus serves as 
both a storage area when the Villa is not in use, and as a means of 
transporting the stuff to and from Pensic.  The majority of the 
household members reside in Aethelmark, which makes for a fairly short 
trip, at least.
