A “Flash Mob” Gathering of Geocachers. Only 15 minutes long!
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, and then quickly disperse. You must be present and sign the log during this time to claim the event.
This event is the same thing. Our unusual activity? Bust out Star Wars costumes and themed toys! Frankly, there is no offical theme this year. I loved last years theme, and everyone really embraced it. So why not do it again.
What is the WWFM? The World Wide Flash Mob is a themed Flash Mob event that celebrates it's 11th year here!

Join the fun!
Here is the plan:
1) Get your best Jedi theme costumes and toys and other parifinalia!
- Wear your Halloween costume!
- Put your hair up in Cinnamon buns!
- Wear your best bathrobe!
- It's time to convert that old gorilla suit to a Wookie suit
- Get those action figures out for table top play
- If you don't already have a pool noodle, get one - you get to pick your lightsaber color! Will you be Red or Green....or will you pull a Mace Windu and go purple?
- Practice your best heavy breathing!
2) Light-saber fighting!
- Those pool noodles are for more than swimming!
