Plan to Attend GeoFest Midwest

September 25th

"All Washed Up"

This year's theme is "All Washed Up"! Whether you are an experieced Geo Cacher or wet behind the ears we hope you will come. Enjoy logging up to 30 new caches, meeting other geocachers from the region, enjoy entertainment around the bonfire and more. Much like the game of Clue ® help solve a puzzle based on clues and the process of elimination.

We will start at 8 a.m. Saturday morning with registration at the Pebble Lake Picnic Shelter. No coordinates will be realeased early. At 9:00am egveryone will get them. We’ll provide coffee, juice, rolls and a laptop for downloading the coordinates from GSAK. We have 27 new caches ready to be disclosed that morning. (We will submit many of them as permanent caches and hope for pre-approval soon). You will have until 4 p.m. to find as many as possible and to turn in your sheet of evidence. At 5 p.m. we’ll start Happy Hour (cache bar!) at the American Legion. We will be selling tickets for supper in the a.m. cost will be under $10.00.

PRIZES – will be awarded in many categories including first to finds, youngest/oldest, geocacher from farthest away, etc. AND of course the winner of the guessing game. This year we are adding 5 travel bugs to join those that we started last year.

SWAG – lots of swag – especially for the kids this year.

TSHIRTS – will be for sale again. These long-sleeved shirts cost $15 each and can be purchased that morning and at the awards supper (and learning from last year – we have ordered some in children’s sizes). Please pre-order on the registration form by Sept. 10th so we can have your size.

With 1,900 caches within a 100 mile radius of Fergus Falls, we know most of you will want to cache your way home or log as many as possible before you leave. That's 400 new caches since the 2009 Geofest Midwest.

What are we forgetting? Need a place to stay – our many hotels and the campground would love to have you visit. Check out the Convention & Visitors Bureau web site for more info www.visitfergusfalls.com.

Thanks for participating – see you soon!
