SLAGA Summer Picnic 2023: St. Vincent Park
August 12, 2023
11:00 AM - 2:30 PM
Summer is about to end and with it comes the very popular and unique Summer picnic. You will never find 2 events that are exactly the same. As usual, this will be a very laid back gathering where attendees bring your own food. SLAGA will be providing plates, silverware, napkins, and charcoal if you want to cook your own food.
This year's SLAGA Summer Picnic is at St. Vincent park. There is a beautiful trail that goes from the UMSL campus, past the cemetery, into the park, and then makes a loop around the park. There is also a Waterpark and community center if you want to have some fun. There are also tennis courts, basketball courts, and athletic courts if you want to get some games in. All of the courts are completely free of charge and open to the public. There is something for everyone, young and old.
There will be a closest to the pin contest at this event with a prize to give away. To play you write your name on a flag and try to use your GPS or phone to place your pin closest to the given coordinates. If your pin ends up closest to the pre-determined pin location you will win a prize.
There will be a geobingo event as well with a random drawing for a prize. This will be a great opportunity to meet other cachers and talk about what caches that they have found to try and get a bingo.
Here is the schedule of events:
10:30 AM-11:00 AM set up
11:00 AM-12:45 PM check in, mingle, and participate in geobingo, closest to the pin, and various games.
