The World Wide Flash Mob Event: Hundreds of events all around the world, coordinated to happen at the same time to bring together geocachers and introduce others (newbies) to geocaching. The event will last EXACTLY 30 minutes. It will begin precisely at 10am on Saturday June 10th, 2017, and end at 10:30am, the same as almost 200 other events around the world. The event will be held at Deer Creek Village Dog Park, a public off-leash area. There's lots of parking available on site, and everything is free.
Pups are encouraged to wear costumes, if they'd like. Come show off your Super-ness!
Everyone is invited, geopup or not. Even cat people are welcome.
10:00am: Gather at the entrance to the dog park. Participants be sure to sign the log sheet.
10:05am: We will parade in a circle, strutting our dog-awesomeness. The event "meal" will be handed out. Cookies for all!
10:15am: We will take a group photo.
10:20am: Throw the ball! Geo-talk with fellow cachers!
10:30am: The event is over.
Suggestion: Come early, to ensure that you do not miss the event. Although participants are welcome to get together after the event, the event will officially be over at 10:30am. Afterwards, participants may chat, meet, eat and plan for a day of caching! There are lots of caches in the area.
I'm sure there will be several muggles nearby who will wonder "What did I just see? What just happened?" (That's part of the fun!)
The WWFM idea was started in 2007 after 2 cachers attended a mega-event. It was meant to be a fun “opposite” of a mega-event: all the cool aspects of a geocaching event, crammed into 15 minutes of excitement. An added dimension is represented by the letters "WW" - World Wide - these events occur across the planet on the same day at (mostly) the same time! These caching events are intended to bring geocachers together in a creative way, as well as introduce others (newbies) to the hobby.
