hidden around the park and will activate during the Fling.

The inaugural SoCal Spring Fling
has achieved Mega-Event status!
Thanks to your enthusiasm and support of the event,
HQ has granted the SoCal Spring Fling Mega-Event status!
This Event has received the Mega-Event icon but will not
have any of the other Mega-Event perks, including a souvenir,
because it did not qualify within four weeks of the Event date.
However, you, as an attendee, will earn a Mega-Event icon
upon posting your Attended log after the event.
Please help us reduce waste!
Please bring a reusable water bottle for free fills!
Please consider carpooling!
