This cache is a tribute to Gord Downie and the Tragically Hip, one of the greatest bands in Canadian history.
Gord Downie wrote Fiddler's Green in 1990 in memory of his five year old nephew Charles who had died of a heart condition. He incorporated the legend of Fiddler’s Green into the song to help ease his sister’s fear of having to let her small son go on his way the afterlife alone without her.
Due to the personal nature of the song, it remained unplayed for fifteen years. There were no known instances of "Fiddler's Green" being played live until October 28, 2006.
One, two, three, four, one, two
September seventeen
For a girl I know it's Mother's Day
Her son has gone alee
And that's where he will stay
Wind on the weathervane
Tearing blue eyes sailor-mean
As Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
For a boy in Fiddler's Green

Congratulations to The A-Team for being FTF
The container is a medium plastic ammo box big enough for larger swag and trackables
