Geocache Description:

A Holiday Flashmob Event! Starts precisely at 2:00pm and ends at 2:15pm
Our second annual Cookie Mob. Cookies, cachers, and Cache-mas!

This will take place in downtown Bloomington on the square. Remember, since it's a flashmob event, you should be wandering around the area "blending in" up until precisely 2pm.

Who doesn't LOVE COOKIES!? This event is a holiday cookie exchange event. Please bring 2-3 dozen cookies to be swapped. The more you bring, the more you can swap for! You'll start out with just your own, but should go home with a plethora of different types of cookies.

What to bring
2-3 dozen cookies
an empty tupperware container to swap your new cookies into
an index card with your caching name on it

This is a Flashmob event, so it is important that everyone follow these instructions precisely. It is recommended that you get to the event early and mill around the downtown area like a muggle, as flashmobs require very precise timing!

Schedule:
At precisely 2pm
We will appear carrying a couple of buckets, one for TB/coin swaps and one for log sheets. When we place these on the ground, that'll be the signal that the fun has begun. Please bring an index card or a piece of paper with your screenname on it to throw into the log bucket. This is also the time to be swapping TBs and coins. If you don’t put an index card in the bucket, you cannot claim to have attended.

At 2:02, we will gather around a table and take a group photo.

At 2:07, we will begin swapping of cookies. Please bring an empty tupperware container to swap INTO and use your existing tupperware to swap OUT.

At 2:15, the event is over. Walk off in a random direction, dispersing in varying directions as if nothing had happened!

Enjoy your cookies!

When logging your RSVP, it may be helpful to indicate (although not required) what kinds of cookies you are bringing so we can have a variety.

If you're not a cookie baker, bring some other type of holiday treat that can be swapped (at equivalent value to a cookie of course).

After Party!
For anyone who's interested in meeting up afterwards to chat about geocaching, we'll be meeting up either at the PourHouse Cafe (corner of Kirkwood Ave & Grant St) or the Bakehouse (northeast corner of the square). We have some new geocachers who would like to discuss recommendations for GPS devices and others that would like some tips/hints on a few caches.

Additional Hints (No hints available.)
