Come out and join us before the bottleneck over the Occoquan River and not up past 50 and 66. The event has been so successful so we need to keep it going!
Guess what, September 16th is National Play Doh Day! I must have gotten my dates mixed up, so we'll celebrate it belated by one day because who doesn't like play doh? Speaking as a child of the homeade kind, I loved it...eating it too!
Belated Play-Doh Day is an opportunity for everyone, especially cachers because we have to be young at heart in order to find so much joy in a high tech scavenger hunt, to celebrate this iconic modelling clay. Play-Doh was originally developed in the 1930’s, not as a toy but as a product for cleaning wallpaper! It was not until the 1950’s that it was marketed as a toy, in the trademark vibrant colours of red, blue, yellow and white. Of course if you were at my house, the homeade stuff always ended up being rather purple.
Two billion tubs of the enchanting putty have now been sold. That's a lot of the squishy stuff! If all that Play-Doh were rolled into a giant ball, it would weigh as much as 2000 Statues of Liberty! The range of colours now includes Paradise Purple, silver and gold. Some people like to keep the colours separate, but if you are being creative, your Play Doh may well end up the colour of mud!
So come along to our monthly event and get creative with some play doh. I promise I'll bring some intersting colors that are not homeade!
Time: 1730-2000 (come hang out with us instead of sitting in traffic and trying to cross the Occoquan during rush hour!)
Location: Antonelli's Pizza, 8212 Gunston Corner Ln, Lorton, VA 22079, http://antonellis-pizza.com/
Bonus: we'll have a drawing for an unactivated trackable at 1900! (must be present to win, I was distracted by pie but I promise I'll remember this time!)
Please note: If you do not think you will arrive until after 8:00pm please post this with your attend log. Sometimes the group breaks up early, if we know you are coming late we will be sure to wait for you. Thanks! (shamelessly borrowed from Nemo's cache pages)
A note about trackables: Feel free to bring them. I'll bring two boxes, one to discover and one to trade. Just please don't leave them unattended on the tables, they can be accidentally lost when the tables are cleaned.
