AWARDS:
Geo-Recognition!
As we have done in the past, we will be voting on 3 categories which are:
- Most Devious/Best Hide of the Year (This is just one particular cache that either drove you nuts or was super creative), Please vote only for a cache hidden since the last BTSF event, i.e. after October 15 2022.
- Best Puzzler/Series/Challenge (this doesn't necessarily have to be the most prolific puzzler, just the Cacher who you thought put out the most fun or ingenious puzzle or interesting series or challenge). Please vote only for a series which was hidden since the last BTSF event, i.e. after October 15, 2022.
- All-Star Geocacher (this person exemplifies good sportsmanship, is willing to help others, and does his/her part to promote the positive aspects of geocaching) The winner gets custody of the GOLDEN AMMO CAN until next years’ event. Please vote only for a Vermont based Cacher or Cacher Team that has not already held the Golden Ammo Can.

JUST SEND YOUR VOTES to btsf2023@gmail.com
It is not required to vote on every category if you don't want to. (e.g. some people don't do puzzles and therefore wouldn't have an opinion on that category). In addition to the awards, let me know what milestones you are celebrating. You can also let me know at the event. We want to recognize them all.
Congratulations to last years winners:
