Please join us to at an event to celebrate the 1,000th find of the
first Niagara County Cacher to achieve that lofty goal,
BarbershopDru, on Saturday, May 13th, 2006. The event will be at:
American Legion Post 264
60 Main Street
Tonawanda, N.Y. 14150
Time: 8:00 PM
Coords at the top of the page should take you right to the proper
entrance for the event. Go down the stairs, the event is in the
basement. Signs will point the way.
Here is BarbershopDru at find #1000, Low and behold in

There is no need to be personally acqainted with the great
BarbershopDru to attend this event! Other than a quickie
presentation around 9ish, this will resemble any other Pub Night
event. So come on out and meet the local cachers.
This event is being listed with less than two weeks notice, so
don't expect any Poker Runs, temporary event caches, or new hides
in the immediate area. But then again, we reserve the right to
throw anything at you. The late start time will provide ample
opportunity for attendees to cache on the way to the event. There
are 60 caches within 4 miles of the event, and 5 within what I'd
consider walking distance from the event. The Legion Post does not
serve food, but we will have complimentary snacks (chips, pretzels,
etc.),Soft drinks and bottled water, as well as a cash bar,
at the dirt cheap prices you'd expect to find at an American Legion
Post.
Child Friendly! Feel free to bring children to the event,
although there are no activities planned. Please keep the kids
somewhat supervised though, i.e. no wandering around the building.
This event is 100% Handicap accessable! Thanks to the
world's slowest elevator, which was installed in 2004.
Win cool stuff. Although TWU is a Legion member, and is
able to rent this spacious hall at a highly discounted rate, it
isn't free. We will be raffling off a nice new .30 cal ammo box,
Camoed Lock-n-Lock container, and an undisclosed unactivated
geocoin (and probably much more to be added to the list) to offset
the cost of the rental. Any monies collected above and beyond that
will be used to insure I don't have to pay for any of my drinks
that night (just kidding, it's for the snacks and soft drinks).
Please post a note if you can attend, and the number
attending.
EVENT UPDATES:
- Complimentary soft drinks, as originally stated on the cache
page will not be available (against Legion policy). They can be
purchased of course. We will still have snacks, bottled water, and
baked goods compliments of Mrs. Aquaholic (most likely
brownies).
- The raffle (winners choice) consists of a .30 cal ammo box,
Camo-taped Lock-n-Lock container, unactivated Generic Geocoin
(limited edition gold), unactivated Native American Geocoin,
unactivated Czech Geocoin, and another undisclosed unactivated
Geocoin. Tickets will be $1 apiece, or 3 for $2.
- Parking will be a problem!! The larger upstairs hall is rented,
and there is a live band. Some parking may be available in the two
nearest municipal lots, but there is always plenty of free
on-street parking in the City of Tonawanda. You may just have to
walk a couple of blocks.
- The organizing comittee thinks it would be a good idea if
BarbershopDru were the first to sign the physical logbook, and be
awarded "First to Find" for the event. Showing up early, with or
without the intent of being first to sign is probably not a good
idea, as the hall is booked right up until our allotted time,
although it's a children's party, and they are expected to be out
long before 8:00 PM.
