The owner of Camp Bisco‘s former site in Mariaville, NY is not happy with the festival’s forced relocation to Scranton, PA and plans to sue the county. Frank Potter feels that it’s personal, claiming that he put a vast amount of time and money into addressing safety concerns from previous years.

“Schenectady County just decided that they are unhappy with us here, and I honestly believe it’s not just about Camp Bisco,” Potter says. “It’s about us doing business here.”
“Town Planning Board wanted a humongous plan,” he continued. “We put that together, it cost tens of thousands of dollars, and we didn’t complain we did it. So I really don’t know other than I believe it’s personal.”
“For five years we never had a problem that was this bad with Camp Bisco, and suddenly we had a couple of bad years and then we tried to rectify them,” he went on. “Rather than work with you, let’s throw you out of the state.”
Potter plans to take Schenectady County to court. Check out Camp Bisco’s recently released complete lineup here.
