Come out and stay for a few or stay all day for this Mardi Gras meet and greet hosted by us RiverRats
Here at the Spanish Plaza, each parade passes by twice, so you basically get eight parades without having to move. Be sure to bring lawn chairs for the ones planning an all day affair, and of course your food and beverages of choice (no glass bottles are allowed in the Plaza).
The State Troopers and County Sherrifs usually stage close to where we set up, so security should be no issue.
Parking downtown during Mardi Gras is difficult at times, so it may be easiest to park at the Mobile Civic Center and make the short walk over.
This is a kid and pet friendly event, and we hope to see you there.
There will be a grab bag, for the first ten cachers who sign the event log AND find two downtown geocaches the day of the event (ONLY ONE GRAB BAG PER FAMILY). The grab bag will consist of, tools of the trade, swag, and two trackable items.
There will also be a poker tournament. Each geocacher will choose five random envelopes and open them in from of me. The best hand at the end of the day will win a prize package. Anyone who finds at least two downtown geocaches will get two extra cards to up their chances of winning. You do not have to be present to win, I will gladly deliver or mail your winnings.
Prizes for the poker tournament will be announced at 1:30pm
Any envelopes not opened in front of me will not be counted
