Please, please, PLEASE try to RSVP (Will Attend) at least two days prior to the event and state how many folks will be coming and what you'll be bringing.

When:
Saturday, July 09th, 2016
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Where:
Pangborn Park
591 Pangborn Boulevard
Hagerstown, MD 21742

Why:
To learn about geocaching, trade travel bugs and geocoins and share yummy food and fun. Those who wish to may also do some geocaching before or after the event.

Extra things to keep in mind:

If you pick up a Travel Bug or trackable coin at one of the events, make sure you log it out so it doesn't show up in the events list. If a trackable sits as being listed in the event for a couple of months, the cache owner is the one that gets the e-mail from the TB owner(s).
Each person attending will be responsible expected to bring a dish to share as well as supply their own drinks.

FTF honors go to MDFirecacher and SawyeRR!!! Congratulations you two!!!
