Geocache Description:


Yes, it is time again! This is the WWFM VIII and last time over 5,680 cachers wordwide were at the event all over the globe, this one promises to be even bigger!

A Flash Mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse.

To participate in the Flash Mob please bring a gnome. This could be a picture (computer generated or hand drawn), a garden gnome or anything pertaining to a gnome. Keep your gnome hidden until 12:07.

DATE : Saturday, June 4, 2011 TIME: 12:00 Noon to 12:15 (only 15 minutes!)

WHERE: Forks Market - middle of skating rink.

This Flash Mob Gathering of Geocachers will be only 15 minutes long. You MUST be present and sign the log sheet DURING this time to claim this event. After 15 minutes…we're gone! This event will last exactly 15 minutes, not one second longer!

This event will be one small part of the WWFM (world-wide flash mob event). This event (and all others around the globe in their respective time zone) will begin precisely at 12:00 Noon on Saturday, June 4th.

At exactly 12:00 (as determined by your GPS clock) a bucket for log sheets will be placed near the coordinates. As you arrive, you’ll be handed a "log sheet." Participants will sign the log sheets (which will later become the log book). To qualify for attendance, drop them in the designated bucket. Bring your own pen – in fact, why not bring your own slip of paper with only your trail name written on it, legibly enough for others to decipher.

A FTF prize will be awarded. At a designated time, we will take a group photo. At exactly 12:15, the log sheets will be packed up and sealed away. The event area will be evacuated without a trace. Only those participants whose names appear on the log sheets may log THIS event.

ITINERARY: 11:45 - 11:59 AM - Participants: Wait patiently in your vehicles or stroll around the area. STAY AWAY from ground zero until the signal is given. As much as you can, act like a muggle, pretend not to know each other or give any indication that something is about to happen. At 11:59 a.m. we will reach ground zero with the bucket. This is the signal for the Flash Mob Event to begin. Everyone now makes their way to GZ.

12:00 Noon - Log sheets will be handed out for those who did not bring their own. Bring your own writing instrument. Sign individual log sheets and drop them in the collection bucket. Mingle. Trade travel bugs and coins. Share stories. Brag. Take pictures. Make arrangements to meet elsewhere, or to find the various caches in the nearby area.

12:07 - All your hidden gnomes appear.

12:11 - Assemble for a group photo, and assemble FAST. Listen to the photographer for directions. Group photo is taken.

12:14 - The best gnome will be determined for FTF.

12:15 EXACTLY - Wait for it ... then LEAVE the area quickly and in different directions. Meet elsewhere if desired. The log sheet bucket will be packed up. If you don't get to it in time you can't log the event.

If everything goes right we will have lots of people coming out of nowhere and gathering for 15 minutes, holding a geocaching event with gnomes and then disappearing…This could be lots of fun and will raise a few muggle eyebrows!
