What is a palindrome?

No it's not. But the day of this event is! laugh

The dictionary definition: pal·in·drome  (păl′ĭn-drōm′)

n.
1. A word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward. For example: A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
 
An alternative definition of -drome is:
 
3. Drome is used to define anything that is cool, dope, or nice. Used as an adjective, and in some cases, a noun. For example: Marge is so drome!

It was brought to my attention that Marge, A.K.A. MagMile, attended her first Event Cache on: 12/12/12 @ 12:12:12 A.M.
 
I also learned that the Taco Tuesday: Cow Tipping event was her 199th event! cool
 
So of course my numerative mind started processing what I could do for this "Southern Belle" to celebrate her 200th Event Cache!

Everyone in attendance will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win something worthwhile! (No predetermined winners, everyone has a chance to win!)
 
I need a guesstimate by Tuesday, 17 September, 2019, so please post your will attends by then. Everyone who posts a will attend by 24:00 hrs. on Tuesday (17 September 2019) will get a second raffle ticket! Look forward to seeing you here!
 
Something else I discovered as I made plans for this event...Marge* is somewhat of a celebrity! She was an American cartoonist. She was best known as the creator of Little Lulu.
