Hello,
I'm one of the organisers of a three-day camping festival for the maker movement and are interested in your venue as a potential location. If you're not already aware of the community, these articles on other maker events might give you a better idea of what we're about.
An introduction to Maker culture in the Economist (with a focus on US communities):

About the Maker Faire, a popular international event for makers and creators to "celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset". (We are not formally affiliated with them, but we share many contacts.)

Our plan is to use a venue for just over a week, with the actual event taking three days and the rest of the time allocated for setup/tear down. We are planning to have talks and workshops throughout the event, so any enclosed areas would be advantageous.
We're looking for a venue that can accommodate the following:
- 250-500 people camping, varying on what the venue can accommodate
- Between June 1st and September 8th 2011
- Permission for an alcohol licence on-site (That we would acquire)
If this sounds like your venue, we'd love to have a chat about taking it further.
Thanks,
