Groundspeak is celebrating geocaching all over the world! So they are sending Signal the Frog all over the globe this year. Signal's first stop will be Germany! But you don't have to go all the way to Germany to earn your Dönerstag Souvenir.
On Thursday, April 13, players will gather to celebrate the 11th annual Dönerstag. You can earn the first-ever Dönerstag souvenir by attending a geocaching event on that day.
Dönerstag began in 2007 when German cachers met at kebab shops around the country all at the same time. Last year, over 6000 cachers attended 233 Dönerstag events all over Europe!
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.”
This year, Ashland will have its own event. Though we don't have a German pub, a Pizza Buffet and Beer would be a great substitute!
Don’t pass on this good time with geocaching chat, trackables, and socializing. Food is available for purchase, but not required to attend.

End Time: 1930 (7:30pm)
