It's time for the 2021 Geocaching International Film Festival, also known as GIFF!
There are many things you'll find while geocaching, not just containers. Many times people who geocache find nature, friendship, a love for the outdoors, or simply find inner peace while they are out looking for their next find. Moments like these have been written, filmed, edited and chosen to be on the 2021 GIFF film reel to be shown around the world during the time of November 11-21, 2021!
ADDED 10/26/2021 - This event has been sponsored by IB Geocaching Supplies! The first 50 attendees will be given a pin button that looks like this to help commemorate their time at this event... and who doesn't like specially made swag??
You're invited to join the fun at the Winnebago Public Library on November 13th at 12:00 noon where the Community Room has been reserved for our event.
