The City of
Kelowna, the gateway to the Okanagan Valley. Situated in the heart
of the BC Interior, Kelowna is home to more than 20 unique
wineries, miles of beautiful parkland, and several sandy beaches
that provide wonderful opportunities for swimming, boating,
water-skiing, wind-surfing, and fishing. Even Kelowna's Main street
ends at the lake. There are over 450 existing geocaches in the area
with another 120 new caches being placed for this
occasion.
Once everyone has
met and is full from coffee & doughnuts, we'll have a short
opening announcement about the festivities and then we'll start
heading out for a fun filled caching day followed by fun and
exciting prizes! Below is an area map of the event site. Turn off
of Springfield Rd. into the Mission Creek Parking lot and your
there.
The Event
will start to wrap-up at 5:30 with a prize draw at 6pm. You have to
be present to win a prize, so make sure your back at Mission Creek
Park by 6pm. You can win a prize one of two ways:
1. Take your
chances with the door prize ticket, or
2. Collect "points"
from event caches to earn yourself a better prize.
Prize donations are
