What
the heck?: Kick off the New Year with a little evil! A
Geocaching Event to help you trade in that present that
didn't quite work for you, for something new and exciting!
Join us for an exciting afternoon of caching, regifting and
fun for everyone! This was an event born out of the fact that
we get lots of gifts each year that we would like to regift!
Plus, I have an awesome container and couldn't figure out
what to do with it. So, what the heck! Let's do an event to
kick off the year!
Prizes
:
Where: Picnic Shelter @ Waterloo Park,
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada (Coords posted are approx. Parking is
available in several locations - Check Waypoints at the bottom of
the page.
When: New
Year's Day, 11:30am to 4:00pm (Approx - Upped
the difficulty to 3 because of the start time! Might be trouble for
some!)
Timeline:
11:30 to 12:30 -
Registration
12:30pm -
Groups head out into the park and hide their "cache" anywhere
inside the park grounds. Groups have 30 minutes to hide and return
with Coordinates.
1:00pm -
All groups return to the Picnic Shelter and submit Coordinates. BBQ
and Potluck Lunch begins! TB and coin exchange is available as
well.
1:30pm -
Kids Cache Course is open. All kids 15 and under with adult
supervision are welcome to try the cache course! At the end of the
course will be a container with Tickets. Bring a ticket back to the
Picnic Area to receive a gift! Evil event caches will be open as
well.
2:30pm -
Drawing of Coordinates: Each group picks out Coordinates from a
"hat" and they go off in search of the "Cache"! Once you have made
the find, head back to the Shelter to check out! - PLEASE
BRING ALL CONTAINERS BACK AS WELL!
4:00pm -
Event ends. Please log your find on the page and include what you
received!
Who:
- beelow is the main
organizer and kids cache course coordinator
eelow will be
coordinating the food during the event
- many others are helping out
too! Thanks!
Details:
- Each cacher (or
family/group) that attends is asked to bring a gift of any size to
"regift" to another cacher as well as an unopened small gift for
kids (under $5.00 or so - please bring the same amount of kids
gifts as you have children. ie: 2 kids = 2 gifts. Kids can regift
too!). If you have no children it would be great if you brought a
kid gift as well, but you aren't obligated. Any extra kids gifts
will be donated after the event to a charity!
- Your "regift" can be an
actual regift (which is always fun) or if you got everything you
wanted you can purchase something! Gifts can be large or small,
expensive or inexpensive! It's up to you what you regift! You can
include a note or make it anonymous! You will need a watertight
container to put the main gift in!
- If you wish to get your
container back, please make sure you pick it up after the event.
Any left over containers will be put to good use later
on!
- This is a Pot-Luck
event (with BBQ if needed) so please bring along a
dish.
