Special Event caching activities outdoors with some meeting space inside; please sign in Visitor Register on lower level at the River Bend Farm Visitor Center, 287 Oak Street, Uxbridge, MA.
Great opportunity for beginner as well as seasoned cachers to try out searching with their new high tech toys. Teaming up is encouraged. Rumor has it there may be a search for an invisible rabbit and/or a colorful egg hunt for kids of all ages.
NAMETAGS, Some make there own Team name tags, but blank "my name is" stick ons will be available to help in your meet and greet activities.
REFRESHMENTS include hot chocolate to complement the bring-a-snack table for which you are welcome to bake or buy, hot dishes are welcome.
TRAVEL BUG exchange table will be available. To facilitate smooth transfer, please consider posting a note in advance to drop the TBs you will be bringing. Please take no more than one for each one you bring. If you have an extra one to drop, that will allow a newcomer to grab one if they can help it along. Please sign them in and out on sheet of paper that we use for answering any questions that arise during the week which follow. Log them out on website as soon as you can, but do allow some time if they were not dropped early.
CACHE ITEM exchange will be swap. You are invited to bring trade items (with value about $5) either gift wrapped or not for the season (Spring, Easter, Celtics Pride, etc). At about 3pm, we will start drawing one name at a time for someone who is in the room to pick out an item, then pick the next name. We will continue this until all items are picked. If someone is still out on the trail, there name will be returned to the basket. If you must leave early, something will be arranged. Keep it simple, make it fun.
