As part of the Geocaching event, 12 caches will be hidden around
Schuylkill County. As caches are searched for and found, cachers
will learn about the diversity and history of the County.
Registration runs from 10:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. All registered
cachers will also receive a coupon upon registration for a hot
dog/hamburger at the picnic.
Cachers will have a chance to receive a trackable Schuylkill
County Bicentennial GeoCoin. Upon registration, each cacher will
receive a card. Each cache will have paper punch in it. Upon
logging the find, cachers should punch their card in the
corresponding space. When all caches are found the card should
be turned in at the Schuylkill County Geocachers table at the
Bicentennial Picnic. All registered cachers that complete their
punch cards will also be entered into a drawing to win a stuffed
ammo can. We will also be giving away a trackable hat as a door
prize sometime before the fireworks. You must come and pick up the
door prizes. The first 90 to hand in their correctly punched card
will receive a GeoCoin. The twelve caches will be published on
geocaching.com the day of the event. Please make sure you are
registered and have your punchcard before finding any caches that
start with SCB-#. So you can punch the card that will make you
eligible for the coin.
Each cache will be full of small prizes for the taking.We would
like to thank all of our sponsors, which include Lowes, Zippo, Mrs.
T's, Schaeffers Harley Davidson, Geo-Gear, AAA, Bob Weaver
Chevrolet and many more.
