Join us for camaraderie and fun with those who share your same enjoyment for geocaching. Everyone will have the opportunity to share a special summer caching experience, ask any pressing questions about geocaching that they want answered, or just enjoy hanging out with other geocachers. And for those who wish to participate, young or old, we will have a "geocaching white elephant exchange."
If you are unfamiliar with a white elephant exchange, according to Wikipedia, it is a popular holiday game found primarily in North America. White elephant exchanges have been known to result in playful rivalries between players trying to get sought after gifts. The goal of a white elephant party is usually to entertain rather than to gain. The term "white elephant" originally referred to a less-than-serious gift.
The white elephant exchange will begin around 12:30 pm. I hope everyone chooses to participate. Gifts brought are not meant to be super-serious or expensive. Gag gifts make for a more exciting and fun time.
1. Bring one "gift" for exchange valued at no more than $5 for each participating member of
your family/group that wishes to participate.
- 2. Gifts MUST BE completely disguised or wrapped.
3. Gag gifts are encouraged.
Ideas for gifts are:
A Ready-to-Place Geocache
(a container w/log sheet, optional: pencil, swag, etc.)
OR
GeocacheSwag
(something you would place/leave inside a cache)
Please bring your Travel Bugs and/or Geocoins to drop or discover!
