Come enjoy a picnic dinner and fellowship
with other geocachers from the Arkansas River Valley area.
Some of the following is true, and some is not.
Your challenge is to figure out which is which.
What?
Nothing fancy! Just a chance to meet other geocachers from the Arkansas River Valley area (and elsewhere!) and discuss geocaching while enjoying a meal of delicious burnt weenies. And then grab your chainsaw and other tools for the only ice sculpting competition in all of Arkansas!
Where?
(NOTE: Location has been changed due to closure of pavilion used in previous events.)
Pavilion 2 (?), Old Post Park, in Russellville (See the coordinates above,not sure of the actual pavilion #. Sorry!). But be flexible! If this pavilion has been taken, we will have to move to one of the other pavilions in the park!
When?
Thursday, August 22, from 6:00 PM to 8:15 PM or so.
Your host:
Old River Runner
OK, you should know how this works by now. This will be an "el cheapo" event. To keep the costs down for this event, I have NOT reserved this pavilion. I am hoping that it will not already been reserved by others and we can just use it, free of charge. The Corps of Engineers is OK with this, as long as it hasn't been reserved by someone else. But, if the pavilion has been reserved OR if someone is already there (it's on a first come, first serve basis), then we will have to find another pavilion to use. Hopefully, that will not be a problem. But be prepared and be flexible!
Also, regarding the food, this will be a pot-luck style weenie cookout on the grill at the pavilion. (I hope you like your weenies burnt!) For this to be a success and have no one go hungry, we all need to pitch in and bring something. Here is a list of some things that we might or will need. Feel free to suggest other items. Also, please note in your "Will Attend" log what you are volunteering to bring. But be sure to check the list to see what others are bringing, so there isn't duplication on some things. (I will try to keep the list updated as folks post their Will Attend logs.)
Please note that bringing food or any of the items listed below is not a requirement for attending. It is all voluntary. But you are still welcome to attend, even if you don't bring anything!
