[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stories I heard, from the vendors and from hardcore enthusiasts, is something like this. I make no claims for total accuracy:

The grounds are owned by an eccentric rich woman, who wanted to give the Renn fest and fellow enthusiasts a permanent home. The structures are permanent, and some of the long time artisans have their primary residence above their stall. Due to the nature of an artisan's life, they aren't home much. They are on the road 40 weekends a year attending craft fairs/ maker fests/ hobby meetups/ state fairs etc. But the Crownsville location is where a lucky few professional makers have their home base, including workshops, tools, etc.  This is huge, because it's not a wealthy calling, and apartment living makes it hard to have a workshop, and frequent moves are impossible when you have a lifetime worth of tools to deal with. So it's kind of like a patronage situation, where the owner makes it possible for artisans to do art and not starve. No idea if they pay rent or what. I assume so... but maybe it's reasonable or grandfathered or only due in September and October. [/quote]

My friend owns a booth. They buy them, permanently like a condo.  Some of the structures may be on septic, but those aren't open to the public. [/quote]
