We will be taking nominations for our first Golden Ammo Can Awards! Please send your nominations to fontanabill or Rshetley!!

1. CACHER WHO NEEDS TO UPGRADE --- The cacher whom you would like to see a little more originality from. You are sick of seeing the same cache, over and over. Please, this is all in fun. We truly appreciate our fellow cachers...right??? OK. If you're nominated, or you win, don't throw a fit and quit associating with us!! OK??? LOL!!!

2. CRAPPY COORD. KING/QUEEN --- Don't take it to heart! It's all in fun! Vote for the cacher with the crappiest coords. for his/her hides!!

3. ENVIED CACHER --- The cacher whom you envy the most. Oh, to have the life of THAT cacher!! Again, this is all in fun! Do not take your nomination to heart!


 1 Truth & 2 Lies
Everyone attending needs to submit three unique statements about themselves. One of these statements is true. The others are lies.
Please e-mail me your statements
and indicate which one is the truth.


Purely as an example:
1. I assisted in rescue efforts after Hurricane Katrina
2. I was Class President my senior year of high school
3. I enjoy extreme thrills, like skydiving.
Number 2 is the truth.

I will take the submitted statements and give to all attendees a sheet with each cacher's handle and the statements that the cacher submitted. There will be no particular order to the list. Your job will be to correctly match the truth to each cacher on the list. If you guess, you have a 33% chance of being correct. So, mix it up a bit and learn some interesting things about your fellow cachers!!


CacheLibs!

Remember Mad Libs? This is based on that concept. Fill-out the CacheLib at the event and some of the entries will be read aloud for all to hear. Go ahead and sling as much mud as you like!! The most creative and hillariously funny entries will be heard for sure!!
