13 September 2025, 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM
This is a 2025 Community Celebration Event (see info at bottom) AND Parker Dam State Park's Annual (and Final) Event Cache.
Final as in I am finally retiring in 2026, before our annual September Event Cache date. Last one, folks.
Where: Parker Dam State Park near Penfield, PA - Pavilion 3 is reserved for the event (same spot as last year).
When: Saturday, September 13, 2025. 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM
Who: Geocachers. And geodogs (on a leash), and tag-a-long muggles too. Anybody, really.
What: An annual event and a Community Celebration Event - 25 years of Geocaching - where interesting people come together to laugh, swap stories, eat, and compete.
Why: It is an ANNUAL event. It is a special Community event. And it is the final Parker Dam event under RedBat.
Food: Hotdogs, buns, and condiments provided. Bring a favorite dish to share (and/or non-alcoholic beverage) and place settings for your party (those who forget may take from the Tub of Shame). Any food dish should be themed to geocaching in some way and labeled so we can appreciate your creative ability.
Amenities: Shelter (pavilion 3), limited electrical outlets, restroom nearby, playground nearby.
Camping is available in the park's class A campground. Cabins may also be available. Reservations can be made by calling 1-888-PA-PARKS (727-2757) or on-line at http://pennsylvaniastateparks.reserveamerica.com.
Rules and Regs: No alcoholic beverages; pets must be on a leash and under your control.
Planned activities:
- There will be a new geocache for you to bag in the park on event day (there will be - no glitches this year).
- Annual FTF Race
- Ammo Can Toss - distance contest
Please post a note as to what food dish you will be bringing so the rest of us can plan accordingly.
