Geocache Description:


North Central Ohio Geocachers / Central Ohio Geocachers
Family Cookout

 

NCOG and COG would like to welcome ALL geocachers to a family cookout Geo-Event. This will be a great way to meet cachers that have found your caches, as well as those whom you may have met briefly in the past while caching! We have a fun filled day that will be sure to keep everyone's attention. Follow This Link For Very Important Information About This Event! The event this year will be held at Alum Creek State Park / US Army Corps of Engineers Below Dam Recreation Area. We have contacted the USACE, and have made reservations for Shelter House #1 on Saturday July 26, 2008. This will promise to be a great event, and one that should not be missed!

What?: NCOG / COG Family Cookout
Where?: N 40 11.087 W 082 57.759 (Below Dam area at Alum Creek State Park: Shelter House #1)
When?: Saturday, July 26 2008
Who?: ALL Geocachers
Why?: To meet fellow geocachers, geocache, and socialize!

We ask that you bring a covered dish or two to share for the cookout. The meat (burgers and dogs), and condiments will be provided. You will also need to bring your own cutlery, plates, and beverages. Reunion style if you will :) Electric will be available for items needed to stay warm.

What do we have in store for you? Well, the schedule will run something like this:

11:00AM - Geocachers Start Arriving. Sign Log Book. A TB/GC Trade Table will also be provided. Bring your coins for discovery, and your signature items for trade as well! Socialize.
1:00PM - Cookout will commence. Continue Socializing, enjoying the afternoon.
1:45PM - Kids Games- 3 Legged Races, Water Balloon Toss, Egg Carry, etc. All kids who participate will receive a prize pack!
2:45PM - Raffle. We will have ready made caches and some other neat prizes to give away!
3:00PM - Socialize or get out and geocache! There have been 25 or so new caches listed in the Westerville area, about 8 miles S of this location in the past couple of weeks. Cache until your hearts are content!

Camping will also be available if you choose this option. The event will not consist of camping, but all camping information can be found at this link.
