This event is for Everyone who enjoys geocaching in Arkansas, regardless of how many years or smileys you have! Put a face with a geocacher, talk about some of the most interesting caches around, or come enjoy the free lunch we put on for you. If you have any questions, please reach out to us on our Facebook Group or on the forums. We will list new information here and on our Sponsor page( http://2015.arkgeocaching.org/) when we get it. This event will be held indoors in a climate controlled room so don't worry about the weather.
Also, a big thank you goes out to the City of Paris for helping this event take place and to the Logan County Fair Grounds! We do have permission to camp for free, tent or RV, but there is no ground fire permitted but those in a grill or cauldron are okay and no hookups of any kind. Restrooms will be available and left open. If you are planning on camping at the fairgrounds, please call likestocanoe@501-617-6962.
Don't go home after the event! That evening we will have a hot dog roast and a pool party at V eterans Park in Paris form 6pm to 10pm. On Sunday Morning before we all go home, we will do a CITO for the city along with some beautification projects.
