Somewhere in the pipe-dreams section of my imagination is my idea to learn shechita while in yeshiva. I'd then purchase a live goat en route to Pennsic. There'd have to be enough kosher eaters to be interested in eating said goat, but it would be wondeful (and very period) way to limit coolers needed.

The Coopers don't allow slaughter on site (after an unfortunate incident involving people who didn't know what they were doing), so you'd have to do the actual slaughter off-site somewhere.
If you can solve that problem, though, I think you'd find enough interested people to make it feasible. There's no organized kosher food plan, so people are scattered about, but I've seen 15-20 people at a Pennsic Shabbat dinner, and there are likely more folks around. I can think, off-hand, of 15 people who usually go to Pennsic and keep kosher. (I'm not counting any of the Israeli contingent in that, so if it's a year that they come, there'd be more.)

Also, what is the deal on kosher food at Pennsic?
