A camera was left behind at the event. Please e-mail me
privately with the color and brand of the camera to claim it.
Location
The event will be held in Lewis Young Park in Louisburg, KS.
Time
The event will start at 7:00 PM. End time is still to be
determined, but is planned for 10:00 PM
The Lights:
Three permanent night caches will be set up for this event in
the nearby woods. Each night cache will be of different design. The
caches will be of Halloween theme during the event, and only during
the event, with varying levels of fright.
The Sights:
Nearby Powell Observatory has been reserved for the night of the
event. Observatory staff will be on hand to give you a tour of the
night sky before, during, and after the event. Take some time to
enjoy the wonderful sights of the night sky.
The Frights:
Besides the Halloween theme of the night caches, several
traditional caches are planned that will also be Halloween themed.
And for those of you who like to dress up, a costume contest will
take place. Come to the event dressed up to take part in the
contest. All attendees of the event are eligible to vote. Prizes
will be awarded to winners of the costume contest. There will be a
kids (17 and under) category and an adult (18 and over) category,
with prizes for each. There are no planned themes and voting will
be open to anyone in attendance.
Volunteers:
If you think you might be interested in helping with the event,
let me know. Volunteers can help with various aspects, including
design and placement of the traditional caches (since I will have
the three night caches under my account, I can help maintain them
for you if you don't live close by but want to help with this),
assisting the costume contest, photography, treat bags, and clean
up. Want to help with decorations? E-mail me if you have something
you think might be useful and we'll see if it can be used. If you
are interested in helping with the event, please say so in your
"Will Attend" log and I'll contact you.
On either Saturday, October 24th, I will be heading to the event
site to plan the final locations for event caches (to be placed the
morning of the event). I am looking for a few people who would like
to assist me with this process. If you are interested, please
contact me privately so that we can plan for that day. I realize
there might be an event going on that day. if you are interested
and Sunday would work better, I'm willing to plan for that day
too.
