Community Celebration Events - 2025
On September 26, 2020 I hosted a Community Celebration Event on Denali50's and my deck at our farm, Falcon Ridge, just SW of Wellington. It was attended by 20 cachers who celebrated 20 years of geocaching. Lots of interesting conversations were then followed by a group assault on the nine geocaches we have hidden around the farm. I’ve been given a community Celebration Event opportunity to celebrate 25 years of geocaching and this event will occur at the same venue and one day later in the month than the fun event we shared in 2020. Come and participate in the fun. Perhaps we can get 25 attendees for the 25 years! Read the following.
Join others for a 2-hour period to engage in conversation and share geocaching adventures you've had over these first 25 years of geocaching! Swap geocaching trackables and enjoy the mountain scenery from our deck. It's a large deck, so there will be plenty of room for everyone. The lawn immediately adjacent to the deck is accessible by wheelchair. With this outdoor environment you can space out a bit as you visit and share. If you care to snack or have soft drinks, be sure to bring your own. We will provide cold bottled water. It might be good to bring mosquito repellant in case these pesky little critters are still active here at the end of September.
In addition to celebrating 25 years of geocaching, we will also celebrate the September birthdays amongst our group. September birthdays are marked as ones that were blessings to our parents’ year-end holiday season canoodling (see GC6QX4V, “Happy Outcomes from Christmas Holiday Canoodling!”). At our 2020 Community Celebration Event there were at least five attendees marking September birthdays. Perhaps this time there can be more! In 2020 Tahosa baked a large, delicious carrot cake to share with attendees. Perhaps we can convince Joe to reprise that contribution. Tahosa will be marking his 24th year as a geocacher and we will recognize that at the event. He became a member on September 9, 2001.
Attending and logging this Community Celebration Event earns you the special caching event icon as well as a geocaching souvenir. The event lasts for 2 hours, so come for a portion or for all of it. Our farm is known as Falcon Ridge and it's permanently protected through two conservation easements. It's a special place, and there are nine geocaches (six Traditionals, two Challenges, and a Wherigo) on the farm to find before, during, or after you are at the event. Finding them is not part of the actual event, but getting after them can add another dimension to this special occasion
