In June, we are substituting Breakfast in the Corral, the
monthly KC breakfast event, with Breakfast in the Park. Warm
weather, a catered meal, and camaraderie with local geocachers.
What else can you ask for?
Okay everyone. Hands down. It was a rhetori...ATOMIC FALCON I SAW THAT!
sigh
Moving on.
Hy-vee will be catering our meal. The menu includes Scrambled
Eggs, Biscuits & Gravy, Sausage, and assorted donuts, fruits,
and rolls. Drinks are not provided, though we are planning on
having at least OJ, and maybe some coffee available too. If you
want something else for yourself drink, then bring enough
for...yourself. If anyone wants to donate some drinks, please
e-mail one of the event hosts.
Because we are catering a meal, two things are
important.
- One is that the meal will cost $10. This is about the
cost of eating at the Breakfast in the Corral event. PURCHASE OF
A MEAL IS NOT REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE EVENT. All money will go
towards covering the cost of this event.
- Two is that we need a really accurate headcount about
one week before the event. So please try to do a Will Attend by
June 11th if possible instead of waiting until the event is only a
few days away. Small changes in numbers the week before aren't too
hard for Hy-vee to adjust for, but if a significant number of
people suddenly decide to come all within the week before the
event, there is no guarantee that there will be enough food for
everyone.
Creative Cache
Contest
In the effort to have a little fun, there will be a Creative
Cache Contest at the event. To enter, all you need to do is design,
build, and bring a creative cache to the event. A geocoin has been
donated for each of three categories: Micro, Small, and Regular.
The rules will be as follows:
- Anyone may enter, with the only restriction being that you must
attend the event.
- The cache must be made by you. Purchasing a ready to go
creative cache is not allowed (for example, building a bolt cache
as opposed to purchasing an already built bolt cache).
- You may enter any two of the three categories. YAY! Two chances
to win a prize.
- All entries must be submitted by 7:30 AM at the Contest Table.
Please see whomever is at the Sign-in table to find out where the
Contest Table is located.
- Please do not put your name anywhere on the cache itself.
- Voting will be done by attendees. Each attendee will have two
votes per category.
- The voting window will open at 7:45 AM and last until 8:15
AM.
- Prizes will be awarded at 8:30 AM. First prize in each category
will win an unactivated geocoin. Second prize in each category will
win a KC Picnic pathtag.
The contest times listed are subject to change, but the
submission time will not be moved to any earlier than 7:30 AM.
Please see the event page linked to below for more details.
Table space may be limited, so please consider bringing chairs
for yourself. Folding tables are welcome and if you would like to
lend us one to help out, please e-mail one of the event hosts.
More information may become available between now and the event.
Please bookmark this page and check back with it occasionally to
see about any new information.
And if anyone would like to volunteer to help, please mention so
in your Will Attend log. Volunteers may be needed to help with
passing out food, organizing some activities, and of course, set-up
and clean-up.
Additional information about the event can be found at THIS
PAGE. If you have any questions, feel free to use the comment
section of that page to avoid turning the cache page into a
forum.
Oh, and don't forget that there is going to be a second event
following this picnic. StealthRT and the Syndicate are hosting
a Mini Poker Run. Two events back to back...loads of fun.
