THIRD ANNUAL CACHE
SLASH FEST
SATURDAY OCTOBER 20th,
2007
This annual event is located in Sumner, Illinois and is
being hosted by King of Halloween, Wolf Pack 359, STP10 &
Knttrgrl, Mike Anderson 1492 & Whistlin in the dark and
friends. We would like to welcome Geocachers from all over to
Cache Slash Fest 2007. We will
have prizes, giveaways, and a Murder
Mystery Cache with a grand prize. Again this year we hope to
have several donations from area businesses. We hope to have
something for all attendees. There will be several permanent caches
in the area that will be activated the day of the event and will be
loggable. There will also be a night cache trip, just for a scare.
So bring your flashlight.
Check out the Cache Slash Fest 2007 Podcast
HERE.
We have had a good turn out on
DONATIONS for door prizes. 
We will have a bonfire for roasting hotdogs which
will be provided. Ice tea, coffee, hot chocolate and chips will
also be provided. Bring a covered dish, drinks of your choice, and
lawnchairs. Bring your kids too because we will have ours and there
will be stuff for them to do.
The start time of this event is 1 pm and we plan
to eat around 4 pm with prize drawings, sight seeing and
enjoying each others company until late into the night. I
think we wrapped last years up around 11 pm. Come and meet
with fellow cachers and check out why the stretch of road
between Wolf Pack 359 and The King of Halloween's house is by
far the scarest in the county and possibly all of Southern
Illinois.
The T-Shirts will be available again this year
and the design is below. If you are not familiar with the design it
is a variation on a design by Edward Gorey's
The Gashlycrumb Tinies. He was the
artist in the opening credits for the PBS show MYSTERY. I
thought it would be fitting with the theme of the event.
