(You might want to add this event to your "watchlist" for late-breaking announcements.)

We are hosting this caching event to bring together geocachers and to introduce new people to the hobby. This event, however, will be quite unique, and creative.

A Flash Mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disperse.

This is a part of the World Wide Flash Mob III occurring simultaneously around the globe organized by iTrax and Foxtail. See http://tinyurl.com/yugzoo for more information on WWFM III. Check out a list of all of the other scheduled WWFM III events that will occur simultaneously around the world.

You've heard of geocaching mega-events? This is quite the opposite in a variety of ways. It is sort of like a micro event, but with many of these events occuring world wide all at the same time. Flash Mobs have also gathered for other reasons, besides Geocaching (http://tinyurl.com/7qpml). Come be part of this historic event! Only 15 minutes long! You MUST be present and sign the log sheet DURING this time to claim the event. Please BYOP! (Bring your own pen)

The "2" difficulty is for the fact that the limited time will make it tough to log if you aren't prompt and diligent... You MUST be present and sign a log sheet DURING this time to claim the event. Only those participants whose names appear on the log sheets may log the event. To ensure that your signature was added during this timed even, there is a simple surprise question on the log sheet that you must answer. If you don’t answer it and get it turned in, we will delete your log. Also, First To Find bragging rights will be awarded in a drawing from the names of the volunteers running the event.

Do not show up prior to 12:00! Stay parked or nearby, but for the Flash Mob to have its full effect, we must appear to come from nowhere and disappear just as quickly. It will be pretty quick and easy (PQEZ).The event must begin precisely at 12:00 NOON Central Daylight Time (NOON, Wichita GPS Time) on Saturday, May 10th. A Bucket full of Nice Swag will be placed on ground zero and a whistle will be blown to signal the start of the event!

• Trade swag from the bucket if you want.
• Turn in log sheets.
• Pose for group photo.
• Receive event "meal" (Hershey Kisses).
• CITO the area.

At precisely 12:15 PM, disperse! A whistle will be blown to signal the end of the event! The event will officially be over. Quickly leave the area without a trace. This is how a Flash Mob works.

If any muggles are curious about the event we will have volunteers handing out fliers that explain geocaching. ( example fliers )

We hope to gather a "good showing" of cachers at this event. Tell your friends and help promote the event. Bring them along, they do not have to be geocachers to enjoy the Flash Mob.

Suggestion: COME EARLY TO FIND PARKING. If you can't find parking you might miss the event! Swing by the coordinates and scout the area a few days early, so you know where you will be going on the big day. Parking is accessible by going west from in front of the theatre and even easier by driving north around the east side of the theatre, then west around the back of the theatre going right into the parking garage. Parking is FREE!! Very awesome. This event occurs during the Wichita River Festival so free parking may be a valuable find if you wish to see some other festivities afterwards. Come early!

There will be several muggles nearby who will wonder "What did I just see? What just happened?" That's part of the fun!!!
