[Sca-cooks] Pennsic question

[otsisto]

The Coopers own the land but they do not run Pennsic. There is a Committee
that does that which is run by SCA folk. To my knowledge, because Pennsic
has gotten so big, the Coopers have pretty much made their land exclusively
for Pennsic for those two weeks. As for being greedy, I don't think that
those individuals that state that really know what it takes to run a
campground and the costs that it entails, especially for such a big event.

geesh..... the way some folks complain you would think we *hired* the
coopers to work at the site for us, and we owned the site. (no, i am not
talking about you in specific. i am actually thnking about a lot of other
complaints i have heard).

Must be similar to the ones I've heard! And I meant "mercenary" as in
greedy, because that's the main complaint I've heard about the Coopers.
Although I must say I absolutely respect the fact that they have to act
like business people and be hard-nosed when necessary. I think my main
lament is that the SCA has no real control over Pennsic. However, the
Coopers in reality must be doing a first-rate job of running Pennsic or it
would not have grown the way it has. So, pardon me while I pull my dress
down to cover my a$$, and I promise not to go off half-cocked with only
heresay-based opinions, at least in the near future! :) Thanks to all for
the genteel ways you answered my obnoxious email too.
