\"block<\/a>Join Us for the Geocaching Block Party Mega-Event<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a \u201cWill Attend\u201d that will fuel memories for years to come. We\u2019re inviting the entire worldwide geocaching community to join us at the 2013 Geocaching Block Party<\/a> on August 17 in Seattle. It\u2019s a Mega-Event not to miss. This year\u2019s Block Party weekend lasts longer, promises more geocaching fun and has plenty of events for everyone. You\u2019ll even be able to grab a cozy spot in front of a giant outdoor movie screen for the first annual Geocaching International Film Festival<\/a> (GIFF). GIFF will showcase the best videos from geocachers around the world. You and the rest of the audience will choose one lucky video to receive the \u201cAudience Award.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Thursday and Friday before the Block Party, you can reserve your spot on a behind-the-scenes tour of Geocaching HQ. You\u2019ll get to find the Geocaching HQ geocache, meet some of the folks at Geocaching HQ and see where all the geocaching magic happens.<\/p>\n

Saturday from 11AM to 6PM, you can soak up the fun at the Geocaching Block Party. Activities include a new GeoTour near Geocaching HQ and meeting the Geocaching HQ staff and many of the volunteers that assist the worldwide geocaching community. Sound like a lot? Don\u2019t worry. You\u2019ll be able to refuel at the onsite food trucks. Log your \u201cWill Attend<\/a>\u201d now, then share this new Block Party Invite video<\/a> with your friends. We\u2019ll see you there.<\/p>\n
