It's another fine opportunity to Meet &
Greet your fellow cachers, this time with a Halloween Flavor and
loads of spooky fun for geokids of all ages ~ and we'll be offering
(Thank you, GCCO!) one of the highly-coveted Gold GCCO 2011 Coins
in a free raffle. (As you know, these can ONLY be won at events,
this special Gold version is not available for
purchase!)
Trunk-or-treating is
the latest twist on the quintessentially American ritual of yearly
candy collecting ~ turning the backs of cars, trucks, minivans and
SUVs into the new "front porch." We've encluded examples from last
time and other, similar, events in the gallery to pique your
interest and give you a starting place for your creative
efforts!
What it is: Instead of traveling to numerous houses,
hopeful trick-or-treaters (and enthusiastic supporters) meet in a
central location where they display decorated trunks/vehicles and
hand out candy and/or other goodies.
Trunk-or-treating, also known as
Halloween tailgating, substitutes family-friendly entertainment and
a group social opportunity for the traditional door-to-door
Halloween activity.
So, choose a
costume for you and the kiddos, bring some goodies (either candy or
loot), and load up your best kid-friendly Halloween decorating
ideas for your geovehicle. (See the gallery for some nifty examples
we pulled from online.) If you don't have a car, that's fine, too!
Bring some goodies to share and dress up and come join in the
fun.
It'll be a blast for the younger cachers and a fine
Back-To-School opportunity to Meet & Greet your "neighborhood"
cachers.
'Twil be held in a parking lot with
lots of room for everyone. Look for the giant black
cat.
You may want to
put a watch on this or check back for
updates.
Set-up from 6-6:30. We'll kick off the festivities @ 6:30.
At that time, no more cars should enter the Trunk-or-Treat area for
the safety of the kiddos. You'd need to park outside the main area
but are still very welcome to join in the
fun!
Please leave the number of kiddo
cachers that will be attending in your "Will Attend" note and let
us know if you plan to decorate your vehicle or if you'd prefer to
just come for the Meeting & Greeting.
Thanks!
And, yes, two years ago when we did
this, there was SNOW . . . so remember it's Colorado and be
prepared for FUN in any type of
weather.
