4th of July Picnic Event

When:
7:30 p.m., Sunday, July 4
Who:
Here's your NW cedar
log:
This is a meet and greet picnic event and a night cap to the
GeoWoodstock
VIII weekend. The City of Kent does a good fireworks display
over the lake with a small town feel but without the crowds and
traffic of Seattle or Renton.
Whether you're traveling back home from the weekend festivities or
you live around the corner, this Event is for you! We're going to
be gathering on a grassy area in Lake Meridian Park to enjoy a
picnic dinner. So bring your blankets, folding chairs, and a
take-out meal. Bring something to eat from home or a to-go bag from
your favorite restaurant then meet here with other Geocachers to
share your weekend stories.
Then, if you decide to stay, you'll be in perfect viewing position
for some fireworks. Since this is one of the most popular spots for
the fireworks, parking can be tricky. You may get a spot right
away, or you may have to walk a bit. We'll try to be as close to
these coords as possible, and make it obvious who we are (look for
the geocaching logo!). Fireworks start about 10pm.
If you aren't staying for the fireworks here at
Kent's 2010 Fourth of July Splash, other activites in the area
include Night Caches, or you might attend one of the
other cities' events before or after this meet and greet, such as
those in Des Moines at the marina, Federal
Way, or Renton.
The difficulty and terrain rating is due to the planning ahead and
the distance one may have to walk to attend this event and get
there on time. Wherever you park, mark your parking coordinates on
your GPS and bring a flashlight just in case for the return
trip.
 This event created in conjunction with the Washington
State Geocaching Association. If you are a geocacher in the state
