14th Annual Kansas City Area Picnic Event Cache

Once again we will have our special offer for those traveling over 100 miles for this event. For $5 a person we will order a food dish for you. Please fill out the order form to request that option. You can make your payment at the registration desk when you arrive.

REGISTRATION:

Registration will begin at 10:30AM. You'll be given a packet that includes your name tags, a free raffle ticket for each attendee and information for the Clue Game. T-Shirts will also be available for pick up.

After registering, be sure to head over to the log book table and sign in.

CLUE GAMES:

Put your Geo-Detective hat on for the Clue Game. Can you successfully channel your inner Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple to solve the "Mystery of the Mill Creek Muggle"? You'll have most of the day to work on the mystery, while mingling with other picnic attendees and enjoying the other activities. A special prize will be awarded.

Also, there will be 5 new puzzle caches published one week before the picnic. You'll be able to solve and or find all 5 caches prior to picnic day. Grab a clue from each of these 5 caches and you'll be led to the location of the Picnic Cache which will be published the day of the event.

RAFFLES:

This year 14 clueless cachers will be heading home with one of 14 creative containers filled with geocaching goods. Everyone will receive an entry ticket when you stop at the registration table. Just put your caching name on the ticket and place it in the ticket container associated with the prize you want to win. In addition, you'll get a ticket for each breakfast meal purchased before the picnic and then throughout the day additional tickets will be available for purchase at $1 per ticket or 6 for $5.

A One-Of-A-Kind T-Shirt Quilt will be raffled off again this year. Those tickets will be sold in advance up to the time of the drawing. - $1 per ticket or 6 for $5. See the Quilt here.

A second quilt will also be presented for raffle. It will be a full size bandana quilt featuring the first ever group photo from the 2013 KC Area Picnic.
