Geocache Description:

31 March 2019, 13:30 - 14:00

Come say Good-Bye to the Alley Cachers aka Wall77, Teller44, SassySilkie, and BobbySocks38.

We just finished competing in the bowling tournament and will be headed home.

  Today is also "National Crayon Day"

Every March 31st children and adults alike open up a box of crayons and enjoy coloring. 

Wax and chalk based crayons have been used by artists around the world for centuries.  Edwin Binney created the brightly colored crayons we are familiar with today.  He was part owner of Binney & Smith, a compnay that produced products such as paint, pigments and slate pencils for schools.

In 1903, Binney & Smith created the Crayola Division and produced colored wax crayons for children for the first time.  Then in 1904, they presented their An-Du-Septic chalk at the Colombian Exposition in St. Louis winning a gold medal.  The chalk was designed to be dustless at many teacher's requests and was an immediate success.
