What
Welcome back to the first of the summer Picnic in the Park events for 2012! Thanks to Team Peterson for hosting the Potluck events indoors during the colder months. It's about that time of year again for the kids to start looking for frogs in the park! Come on out and join us for a night of kids playing (yelling, screaming, skinned knees) having such a great time, adults talking and enjoying each others company, watching the kids - remembering when they had that kind of energy, meeting new people, seeing old faces, and some good old food and drink! Talk Geocaching, cache hides, puzzles and the great stories of the trail. Bring your Bugs,Coins, Pathtags and Sig items for trade or exchange. Stop by for a visit or hang out for a while. You may wish to bring your own lawn chairs and bug juice.
When
May 17, 2012 from 6pm - 8:30pm. (We always try to make the monthly events the 3rd Thursday of the Month to be consistent.)
Where
Palmer Park. Entrance is off of 52nd St. The posted coordinates are for the first shelter in the park. However, we have not been reserving any spots. If you don't find us at the first location keep on driving to the next pavilion or until you find our group. I'll try to have some yellow MiGO signs for better visibility so keep an eye out.
Who
Everyone is welcome at the event. New and old geocachers alike are all welcome!
What Do I Bring?
Some of you may NOT know this at all but the Southwest Chapter has the largest turn out. Now, I don't want to brag, toot my own horn, or a na-na boo-boo to any of our other chapters. My point is this - the Geocaching communitty contniues to grow and we have a lot of people. Our record attendance is near 150 people! That is honest a HUGE group of people and I'm so thrilled to see everyone of you. BTW, tell a friend and lets see if we can break 200 people in 2012. Wouldn't that be great again?!?!
Potluck by Last Name: (I'll try to rotate this monthly)
Everyone: Bring a Main Dish
A-M - bring a Dessert
N-Z - bring a Salad or Side Dish
We run out of food very quickly with the large attendance. Could you consider bringing something larger or extra if you are able?
Celebrating a Milestone?
We want to hear. Please post a note to the cache page or email me. We'll try to make an announcement and celebrate with you! I will also be adding celebrations here below so you're name and find number will be an official part of this event!
Congrats to ClimbGuy and BoxmanCrew reaching 2000 finds at the event!
