What is Dönerstag you ask?
Dönerstag began in 2007 when German cachers met at kebab shops around the country all at the same time. The tradition caught on!
These special events are held each year on a Thursday. In German, this makes the name “Dönerstag” a pun: The German word for Thursday is “Donnerstag.” Kebab translates to “Döner.”
Last year, over 6000 players attended 233 Dönerstag events. The events were held all over Europe, from Germany and Austria to the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
But since we all can't travel like Signal the Frog to different countries like his first stop in Germany, let's do the next best thing...celebrate like a German (Shepherd) with a Bark in the Park event! And you can earn the first-ever Dönerstag souvenir by attending this geocaching event!
So grab the dogs, your friends and family, and let's meet at Bunker Hills Regional Park Dog Park for some fun!
We will meet outside the actual dog park for the event. If you do go inside the dog park, please be a responsible pet owner and stay with your dog and please pick up after them.
Date: Thursday, April 13, 2017
Time: 5:30-6:30 PM
Location: Bunker Hills Regional Park Dog Park
***Dogs are not required to attend this event, but it sure makes it more fun!
