Merry Christmas Eve in July!
The elves (attendees) have hidden gifties for others to find. Are you in the holiday spirit?
Let’s get together to share in the festivities!
We will be able to social distance, but please bring a mask. :)

GIFT EXCHANGE:
You don’t have to participate in the gift exchange to log the event as a find, but if you do wish to participate you must follow these rules:
1) Prior to coming to the event, you must hide a Giftie Cache to be exchanged with another Cacher somewhere within 5 miles of the Park. The $10 giftie can be a gift card, unactivated geocoins, unactivated travel bugs, swag items, etc. Place your Giftie Cache in an inexpensive cache container and hide it to be found later that day. Please make sure your container is weather resistant and critter-proof. Don’t forget to mark the coordinates for your hidden giftie for Step 2.
2) You must bring a Micro Container to the event containing a slip of paper with the coordinates of the Giftie Cache you hid for another cacher to find. In addition, it would be a good idea to write your geocaching name and cell phone number on the paper just in case the seeker needs to phone-a-friend.
3) At the event, the Micro Container will be placed in a bowl and mixed up. Everyone who places a Micro Container in the bowl will then be able to randomly choose another Micro Container from the bowl. For those families with multiple cachers, you may bring more than one Micro Container, but there must be one Giftie Cache hidden for each Micro Container placed in the bowl or someone will be disappointed.
4) After the Micro Container Exchange, you may sign the event log and go find your Giftie Cache. The entire cache is yours to keep including the container so make sure you take everything with you when you find it. These containers should not be left behind nor published as a regular cache.
5) When you log the event as attended, please thank the cacher who hid your Giftie Cache. Feel free to post pictures.
Remember… the Micro Container Exchange Event will be a 30 minute event so don’t be late!
Email me if you have any questions concerning the rules.
