This cache has been placed for the 2022 Calgary Spring Fling Event with the intention that it not be located prior to 8:00 am on Saturday, March 19th, 2022. The caches for this event are released early so that the geocaching community has an opportunity to plan their routes and strategies prior to the event start. Feel free to find as many or as few caches as you can and want. During the hunt, please document the time of find in the logbook. This makes things more interesting by informing subsequent finders how close they are on your tail.

And now for something completely different....
Background
It's hard to believe it's been just a year since Team Olio launched this Olio "challenge" series so we thought it was time to take another break to mark this momentous occasion. As you can tell, Team Olio will use any excuse to take a break ;-) but c'mon it's not every day we turn one, right? Let's celebrate!!!
Year of the Olio
What a year it's been! This Olio series has had so many highlights and milestones over that time. It only seems fitting we put together a few of the more interesting factoids from the past year. Hopefully we're not infringing on any copyrights with this format. :-/
Olio Moving Forward - always!
Given the immense success of Club Olio over the past few months, Team Olio has decided to allocate a significant amount of our extensive marketing budget towards garnering greater international exposure for Club Olio. As a result, we are excited to introduce just a few of our newest partnerships that have just started as part of our birthday celebration. If you plan to travel, be on the lookout for all of our new Club Olio sponsorships and all the benefits and discounts they entail. Be proud of being part of this very exclusive Club Olio.
For example, perhaps your next visit to Nevada includes a stop at this newly re-branded city. When booking any events or hotels there, be sure to identify yourself as a Club Olio member to receive free upgrades and many other benefits and rewards that we have negotiated.
Or maybe you'll visit one of the newest attractions in California. Be sure you bring your Club Olio membership card with you for your free VIP OlioPass to skip all the lines and so many more perks. Club Olio members also have exclusive access to Club99 on the grounds which is 3 times better than the other secret club.
While Team Olio was in California, we also managed to get Club Olio some additional media exposure. Here's a preview of the episode which will air tonight (April 1, 2022) giving our first birthday even greater visibility all over the world.
Throughout the world, Club Olio has partnered with some of the greatest cities to give our rewards program maximum exposure. Check out this re-branding in London. Don't forget to show your Club Olio membership card at the station to gain access to the VIP Olio Lounge and of course, please be sure to "Mind the Challenge"!
And then there's Paris, where we have another similar re-branding. If you have time, be sure to stop in the very exclusive and private Salon Olio there where you can enjoy some of Paris's most magnificent haute cuisine, curated by some of the world's top starred chefs. This, of course, is also all FREE for our Club Olio members.
With all these international locations on board with Club Olio, Team Olio has gone one step further and engaged with some global travel brands for even more sponsorship and partnership opportunities. Perhaps you'll come across one of these re-branded geo-vehicles in your travels. When booking your travel, be sure to identify yourself as a Club Olio member for potential free upgrades and many other benefits like VIP boarding and deplaning. Club Olio members are also offered exclusive meals and drinks while on board as well.
Destination Olio
With all this international exposure for Club Olio, Team Olio is also pleased to announce yet again, another new benefit for all of our Club Olio members.
Talk about putting Club Olio on the map and making us a tourist destination!
Taka a bow, our loyal Club Olio members
Most important of all, Team Olio wouldn't be celebrating this momentous occasion without you - our loyal Club Olio members. And for that, we graciously say Thank You to each and every one of our Club Olio members from the bottom of our hearts. Thank You for taking a chance with us. Thank You for being with us from the beginning. Thank You for coming along for the ride. Thank You for all the great logs. Thank You for all the great feedback along the way. Thank You for all the laughs. And Thank You now for celebrating our 1st birthday with us. Take a bow, all of you - our loyal Club Olio members.
To honour this historical milestone, Team Olio is also pleased to announce a very special (and easy) "upgrade" for all our members. No challenge required. All you have to do is sign this log, and you will be automatically upgraded to the next membership level.
