To celebrate my 4000th find I need a special way. Herh herh herh.
May 4 is considered a holiday by many Star Wars fans and geocachers to celebrate the franchise's film series, books and culture each year. The date was chosen for the easy pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you" - "May the Fourth be with you". Even though the holiday was not actually created or declared by Lucasfilm, many fans across the world choose to celebrate the holiday.
So, come on down to Buffalo Wild Wings on Route 110 in Farmingdale to celebrate Star Wars Day geocaching-style! We have reserved the party room in the back and will be hanging out from 2PM until 5PM! You do not have to purchase anything to attend this event and everyone who signs the log book gets at least one raffle ticket. If you do wish to get food and drinks at this event though, you are responsible for your own purchases.
This will be the 8th time we are doing this at B-Dubs and certain things have been a success in the past (so they tell me), so let's bring them back again:
RAFFLES: There will be some nice Star Wars and Geocaching themed items. You do not have to be present to win, you just need to sign the log book!
LIGHTSABERS: The weapon of a Jedi, an elegant weapon of a more civilized age. Get your picture taken with a lightsaber and maybe go home with one too!
GEOCOINS: There will be geocoins available for purchase, which are trackable at www.geocaching.com. There will be a limited number of coins available this year, so if you want to reserve one, please note that in your "Will Attend" log. Coins are $14 each and will be made available on a first-come, first-served basis.
An image of the coin is viewable on a link on the event page.
THE ITEM WHO'S NAME SHALL NOT BE MENTIONED: In celebration of my 4000th find, I have created a small, round, metallic, US-quarter-sized item to be handed out at this event. Might be the greatest one ever created. Just sayin......
