The Preamble:

Unlike Ontario's Public Holidays Challenge Cache most of these dates are not recognized as holidays. Yet some of us observe these days in one form or another.

The Rules:

In order to log a find on this BINGO challenge cache you must find a cache on a minimum of five of the days, that were randomly distributed, in the grid above.  The five days must form a consecutive line, either horizontal, diagonal or vertical.  Once you have claimed a BINGO, you can continue to fill in the grid and each time you complete another BINGO line, post a note and the list below will be updated.

Only finds logged after publication of this cache, 29 March 2011, qualify for this challenge. Finds logged prior to publication of this cache do not qualify for this challenge.
