It will take place on August 20, at Pine Tree Park in Blackduck, MN
The event will start at 8:00 AM, with the start of a fun filled day and conclude at 3:30 after the prize presentations.
Fourteen Campsites with water and electricity are available at the north end of the park if you would like to spend the night. Reservations for these sites must be made in advance by contacting me, through my geocaching profile.
Nineteen other campsites are also available in the park, reservations for those are also highly recommended, those reservations you will have to make yourself. If you are not into camping but still want to stay for the weekend or one of the nights, there are two motels in Blackduck.
Drop a new travel bug with zero miles to send off for the travel bug race.
Free will offerings will be accepted.
Prior to the event, there will be new caches published.
There will be a campfire event on Friday night in conjunction with this event.
There will also be a breakfast event on Sunday, where still to be determined.
Poker Run
Five caches will have sealed envelopes with playing cards in them. Pick whatever color of deck you want to play with (there will probably be three different colors) and only take cards of that color, but DO NOT break the seal on the envelope. Envelopes with broken seals will be disqualified. The best poker hand of each color deck will win a prize.
Kids Games (Adults can play too)
There will be games to play at the Park all day
Travel Bug Race
The travel bug race will begin at 3:00 PM. You must "drop off" your new travel bug with zero miles into this event, and fill out an official entry form to enter the race. After starting out here, see how far your bug can go. At next year's event, whoever's went the farthest gets a prize. You can't move your own travel bug, and someone will be monitoring all bugs entered.
Prizes
Prizes will be awarded at 3:00 PM. All registered caching names will be put into the drawing bucket. Must be present to win.
