Geocache Description:



Our local part in this years World Wide Flash Mob Events - "WWFM IX Event - "Hats On Everyone" will be held on Saturday June 9th, promptly at 1:00 PM in the front parking lot of Eastview Mall - Victor, New York. The event will take place in the area of the permanent sundial located at the entrance to the mall. (Directly in between P.F. Chang's & Champ's restaurants.) At this precise time cachers the world over will be meeting for flashmobs and this is our own event so local cachers can join in the fun!

The WWFMs are coordinated geocaching "micro" events that take place simultaneously all across the world. 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, then quickly disperse. The worldwide time for all the WWFM event caches will last exactly 15 minutes, not one second longer.

The event will begin EXACTLY at: 1:00 PM on Saturday, June 9, 2012 and will end at EXACTLY 1:15 PM. You MUST be present and sign a log sheet DURING this time to claim the event.

THIS YEARS THEME: "Hats On Everyone" Everyone has a hat they love to wear so bring along your favorite hat and at the appropriate time place it on your head for all to see.

EVENT LOG BOOK INFO: In order to sign the log book and claim your smiley, you must drop a folded piece of paper with your caching name on it inside the smiley container we are making for this event. Bring it with you or sign something while you are there, but please bring your own pen and paper if you plan on doing it at the event....Due to the time constraints and possible number of people in attendance this method has proven to work at past events of this type..


PRIOR TO THE EVENT: • Drive to the parking area near the coordinates. Either stay in your car or get out of your car and pretend you are a muggle. ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW ANYONE ELSE.

• At 12:59 PM - make your way to the designated event coordinates shown. KEEP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW NO ONE.

• 1:00 PM - At exactly 1:00 PM as determined by the GPS clock, a whistle will blow. This signifies the start of the event and everyone must at this moment pull out their favorite hat and put it on. The smiley container will be placed near the designated coordinates and you may then converge on the container for the official event and also mingle and chat with other cachers.

• 1:05 PM - Bring travel bugs and or geocoins to exchange with friends and or discover. We are planning a formal but very simple "Take One, Leave One" method, so gather up all those trackables and geocoins and bring them along. If you have been holding onto any for a long time and just want to drop off your items, that's fine too

• 1:10 PM - Assemble for group photo.

• 1:14 PM - One minute warning is called "It is now 1:14!". A random name will be drawn at this time for the FTF. Please help clean up and prepare to leave.

• 1:15 PM - Take off your Hat...Make like a muggle and LEAVE the area! If you missed the signing you missed the event.

Of course there is nothing to stop you all from gathering afterwards to find some geocaches nearby.



**Please be reminded that this is a very public place. We must remain respectful of the area and people around us.**




*This year's event coins are in and we bought several of them to give out during the event as part of the raffle. The coins are now sold out and the second batch won't arrive in time for the event,,,But no worries, we have 6 to give away during the event*
