Date: October 14, 2006
Time 8:00AM - Buffet Breakfast at coordinates listed
above.
Come and join us in a unique, well-documented tour introducing
you to some of the people whose lives was an interesting part of
the history within six counties in the Greater Kansas City area.
This tour will provide you with stories, facts, and corresponding
coordinates that will introduce you to some of those who were early
settlers in this area along with politicians, gangsters, heroes and
ruffians and those who fought in our wars (Revolutionary, 1812,
Civil, both World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq). You will get to
see places where some of them lived, as well as their final resting
places.
More information and places to visit will be provided than you
will be able to see in one October day. After breakfast you are on
your own to visit as many tour stops that interest you in the
historic tour booklet. With each point to visit, there will be a
question to answer. At 5:00PM you will return to the final
coordinates, which will be given in the tour book. At that time we
will gather together again and share with each other what you have
learned and your tour experiences. And, of course, what event would
be complete without a few prizes, a yummy meal, as well as a
trackable coin commemorating this historic tour.
For all the tour stops you didn't have time for, there will be
enough material for an individual or family outings for months to
come. We have been gathering historical information for months. We
even have some historical societies and museums interested in our
findings and asking for copies. We hope you also will have an
enlightened experience as you visit the tour stops.
The first 50 people to register and attend will receive the
trackable coin commemorating the event. The coins will be passed
out after the 5:00PM check in. For those that would like to preload
their receivers, the waypoints will be made available online the
night before. If this is your first visit to the PTOC site, you
will need to create a free account.
Registration cost is $12.00. Late registration after 9:00 PM
Wed. Oct. 11th will be $15.00.
Cost for the meal is $3.00 per person ages 12 to ?? Kids eat
FREE.
Extra books will be available for $5.00. Extra coins will be for
sale after the 5:00PM check-in. Those that don't receive a coin for
registering will have first opportunity to purchase a coin.
The fine folks at the Possum Trot Orienteering Club were
gracious enough to allow us to use their registration site. We will
be able to pre-register and pay the fees with paypal in advance by
using their site. This will make things much easier on Saturday
morning. If this is your first visit to the PTOC web site you will
need to create a free account. Click HERE to register online.
Please put this on your watch list for further details and
changes.
