Write down your favorite on a notecard and drop it in the drawing jar during this event for a chance to win an unactivated trackable geocoin and the honor of having your favorite named holiday for March 1st commemorated in the title of this event description for eternity (or until this event page gets archived, whichever comes first).
Not into holiday celebrations? Need another reason to get together with other geocachers? How about the opportunity to meet a couple of fellow geocachers from North Carolina vacationing in Orlando for the week and hosting this event?
Winner of the named-holiday drawing was thegreek with "Casimir Pulaski Day," a local holiday officially observed in Illinois (mainly in areas that have large Polish populations, such as Chicago, Bloomington, and Du Bois), on the first Monday of March in memory of Casimir Pulaski (1745-1779), a Revolutionary War cavalry officer born in Poland as Kazimierz Pułaski. He is praised for his contributions to the U.S. military in the American Revolution and known as "the father of the American cavalry."
Location of Event
Drafts Sports Bar & Grill (located in the Westgate Lakes Resort Welcome Center located at 9500 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando, FL 32819).
When you enter the Westgate Lakes Resort front gate off Turkey Lake Road, if challenged by security, just let them know you're joining a group in Drafts Bar & Grill.
Depending on the how many geocachers announce their intention to attend, we plan to meet on the Draft's outdoor patio/deck. If weather proves to be wet or windy, we'll meet inside the restaurant. Just keep your eyes open for the Green Geocaching-Logo Quilt and we'll be close to it.
