This event will be a combined outing for both new and
seasoned
cachers alike. After registration, newcomers will have an
opportunity to attend a Geocaching 101 class to introduce them to
this wonderfully fun (and addictive) hobby. This 101 class will
begin at 10:00 a.m. at the Cheboygan Public Library - 100 S. Bailey
St.
In addition, there will be two Poker Runs (one for beginners at
Fairgrounds and one for advanced out in the local area), a closest
to the pin contest, a raffle, AND 50+ new caches
to be published that day with great First To Find (FTF) prizes. And
we’d be remiss not to mention the all important food and beverages.
Also, if you have path tags, bring them along for potential
trades.
At the registration table you will receive your raffle ticket
closest to the pin flag (with instructions), and a listing of all
the new permanent caches in the area. Note: There will be only one
closest to the pin flag issued per team. Plenty of volunteers will
be on hand following the Geocaching 101 class to assist and work
with newcomers. After a fun-filled day of “hunting” we will regroup
at 4:00 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce for awards, prizes and to
quell those hunger pangs.
The SAGeocachers are designing and producing an awesome
looking
collectable geocoin (non-trackable) for this event. We plan
on
selling them at the event for the fantastic price of only
$5.00.
But, supplies will be limited and on a first come first serve
basis.
When confirming attendance, please include how many will be
attending in your party to help us better plan for the event.
We
look forward to seeing you there and having a fantastic
event.
