Geocache Description:

Come join us on Saturday, February 21st for our annual winter get-together at the Kress Gallery in downtown Spokane. EVERYONE is welcome!

The Kress Gallery is located on the 3rd floor of the River Park Square Shopping Mall, just east of the Movie box office and behind the Atrium food court. Follow the ramp adjacent to the Main Street windows to the end of the hallway.

For those that would like to eat, there are refreshments available in the food court. Feel free to grab a bite to eat and bring it on in to the Kress Gallery.

Besides the TB Exchange Table, there will also be a secure Signature Item/Pathtag Display table. Be sure to bring any TBs and Geocoins to exchange and any Signature Items or Pathtags that you have made or collected for the display.

* To thank and to honor the cachers who made ’08 great with all of the new hides placed during the year, the WSGA IE Chapter will be holding an Oscar themed award show during the event where winners will be chosen from those caches nominated in several exciting categories and one boring one.

With all the great new hides out there, your help is needed to build the list of nominees. Simply send an email to new.cache.nominate08@gmail.com with the name and GC number of the caches you want to nominate in the following Oscar themed categories (you can nominate more than 1 per category):

Best Foreign Language (Puzzle/Unknown)
Best Screenplay (Cache Write Up)
Best Documentary (Earth Cache)
Best Visual Effects (Scenic View)
Best Costume Design (Camo)
Best Director (Multi-Cache)
Best Supporting Cachetress (Micro)
Best Supporting Cachetor (Small)
Best Cachetress (Regular)
Best Cachetor (Large)

The cache must be placed in 2008. Caches placed in 2008 and have been archived are also eligible for nomination. You can not nominate your own caches. The same cache can be nominated in multiple categories. A micro can’t be nominated for Best Cachetor (Large) of course but it could be Best Supporting Cachetress and/or Best Documentary and/or Best Director if it is a multi-stop earth cache micro.

Start nominating your favorites today and watch the event page for further details!
