Geocache Description:

Earn your New Year's souvenir with the (first annual?) New Year's Day scavenger hunt, chili cook-off, and raffle! Or if you don't care about such things, come anyway for a good time, good food, and good company!

January 1, 2018. 2-7 p.m.


On January 1, 2018, geocachers from around the area will be embarking on an expedition. Your mission? To collect as many things or complete as many tasks on a list that will be revealed to you upon your arrival. Teams will compete to earn points and the team that collects the most points by the end of the allotted time will win a grand prize. The more people that participate the more fun it will be, so make sure you bring your families and spread the word!

The doors open at 2 p.m. At this time you may drop off your Great Chili Cook-Off submission and any raffle donation you brought, collect your item/action list, and form your team. The hall will be open to you for the entire afternoon as a home base so if you need to stop by to warm up, do some work, use a bathroom, etc, I'll be there keeping an eye on things, but the majority of tasks will take you outside and around town. This also means that if you can't make it at 2 but still want to participate, you can come by to collect your list any time after 2 as well.

What sorts of things should you expect from the list? Well, that's for me to know and you to find out! Some of the activities are geocaching related, some are not. Some may require you to act silly and others will be simply a matter of collecting objects or information. Some will be indoors, but most will be outdoors. (That's the way we like it anyway, right?) It is unlikely that any one team will be able to complete the whole list before time's up, so you get to choose what you're comfortable with! But remember... the more you check off the list, the better your odds...

More information will be released as the time approaches, so watch for event announcements for the most up to date information. If you are willing to contribute an item for the raffle, please let me know either in a private message or in your "will attend" log. Hope to see you January 1!
