A fun and friendly way to promote geocaching around the world.
Thousands of geocachers at dozens of coordinated events spanning
the globe, gathering at the same time. The WWFM idea was started in
2007 after 2 cachers attended a mega-event. It was meant to be a
fun “opposite” of a mega-event: all the cool aspects of
a geocaching event, crammed into 15 minutes of excitement. An added
dimension is represented by the letters "WW" - World Wide - these
events occur across the planet on the same day at (mostly) the same
time! These caching events are intended to bring geocachers
together in a creative way, as well as introduce others (newbies)
to the hobby. Basic Requirements: Hold the event on the official,
announced day, preferably at the official time The event should
last only 15 minutes (some locations hold separate "after" events
for more fun) Take a group picture Collect the number of people
attended for statistical purposes Be creative and Have fun!
Meeting point will be the Green Bean. If
they wind up having an event that night, and it is too full, we
will meet immediatly outside (and page will be updated ASAP to
reflect changes). Feel free to bring TBs/Coins to trade, discover,
or just log for mileage.
Schedule:
2120-2129 stage yourself near the Green Bean, but don't
let on that you are there to be part of the event.
2130 precisely (according to GPS time) converge on ground
zero--mix and mingle with your fellow deployed cachers, exchange
into, TBs, stories, etc etc.
2140 Group photo--make sure you have signed the log book
to receive credit for the event!
2145 Leave the area immediately and enjoy the rest of the
night! (maybe nab a nearby cache or two!)
Important News! All attendees will receive
a Souvenir on their caching page for attending this event!
Additionally, we will have a SOLD OUT
WWFM coin to raffle off to one lucky winner!!!
