Geocache Description:


2010 Indiana Spring Picnic
Lake Mississinewa
Observation Mound Shelter

May 15, 2010

Schedule:

10am - Registration (sign the log, grab a nametag & sign up for various raffles and door prizes!)
12pm - Lunch (see details below)
1pm - Game prizes awarded, group photo & Raffle/Auction (donations gladly accepted)
2pm - Clean up!  (stick around for the WWFM event immediately following the picnic event!)

Pitch-In Lunch:

Plates, plastic ware and napkins will be provided.  If you would like to join in, please bring your own entree and drinks, plus a dish to share.  If your last name begins with A-R, bring a side dish.  If your last name begins with S-Z, bring a dessert.  The shelter has limited electricity and we will provide a couple of power strips, so crock pots should not be a problem.

Activities:

Closest to the Pin contest will go on from 10am until 1pm.  Prizes awarded after lunch.

A get-to-know-your-neighbor "Meet & Greet" game will be available.  Once your sheet is filled, turn it in for an opportunity to win a prize!

SpiderMilo's Activity Zone will be set up with a few crafts for the kids, but will be unsupervised.  There is also a playground VERY near the shelter.  Please keep an eye on your little ones in these areas!

We will raffle or auction off a few select items and door prizes will be offered throughout the day.  If you would like to donate items for either the raffles or door prizes, please let us know.  All donations are GREATLY appreciated.

Notes:

There is NO admission fee to the Observation Mound Shelter.  The shelter is wheelchair accessible and bathrooms are available at the opposite end of the parking lot.

A special event pathtag will be available for purchase at the event ($3/each or 2/$5).  An event t-shirt is available for purchase online now!  Just click HERE to purchase your shirt.

Camping:

The picnic hosts will be camping at Lake Mississinewa / Miami SRA, a short drive from the shelter (coordinates provided as a child waypoint).  The INDNR online reservation system is live for the Spring Picnic weekend! A map of the Mississinewa/Miami SRA campground has been uploaded to this cache page. If you reserve a site, please be sure to let us know which one and we'll add you to the map. You may post your site number here as a log note or under the Spring Picnic thread in the Midwest Forums.

Other Weekend Events:

GIG on the Go:  Poker Night (GC240PV) hosted by Jenischmeni.

WWFM VII - Air Mail! (GC24EB6) hosted by ProfessorZoom.

Campfire Social (GC24Q7V) hosted by Team Shydog and TankHounds.

If anyone is interested in hosting a coin/pathtag swap Sunday morning, it would be a great way to get in a 5th event for the weekend!  Please let me know if you are interested.
