MNWild11: Thanks to everyone who was able to make it out to the 2011 WINTER SOLSTICE FLASH MOB. It was a great turn out for such a short notice. Depending upon my upcoming schedule, I may try to host another one in the next couple of months. Have a great year caching in 2012.

Come out to Celebrate the Winter Solstice.

MEET IN FRONT OF FATHER DUFFY STATUTE.

The Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice, between December 20 and 23, is the time of year when the night is longest and the day shortest. What happened to the sun? If, in ancient times, you believed in gods and goddesses who take an active interest in human life, you might have thought it smart to do something to make the gods happy again so they might bring back the light. Why not honor them either with a great festival to persuade them to bring it back or a kind of gift-giving birthday party for the sun's annual rebirth? This may be at the origin of the winter solstice holidays.

Prior to 7:00 pm : Show up early but don’t be too obvious. Stay away from ground zero and pretend to be a muggle. Try to blend in which should not be very difficult. IF YOU HAVE A SANTA HAT OR OTHER HOLIDAY HAT, FEEL FREE TO WEAR IT.

At 7:00 pm , be at ground zero and sign the log sheet. Remember to mingle. Try to meet as many people as you can in the allotted time.

At 7:13 pm NOT MANDATORY, but feel free to break into a chorus of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer".

At 7:15 pm we are done. Pick up your stuff, become a muggle again and scram. (or if you want to hang out you can)
