2009 Indiana Fall Picnic Event Cache

Saturday’s Fall Picnic will be a day of fun, socializing and events. The day’s activities are:

REGISTRATION: To register for the picnic, go to www.indigo-geo.com and click on the registration button. Don't forget to order your T-Shirt and pathtags. Purchase of this merchanidise helps fund the picnic.

FRIDAY NIGHT MEET & GREET: InKy is sponsoring a chili dump. Check out the Meet & Greet event page or the picnic website Indigo-geo.com

PITCH-IN LUNCH: Once again everyone is asked to bring a contribution for the pitch-in lunch. A pitch-in only works if everyone who eats at the buffet has contributed. Contributions will be exchanged for meal tickets. If you do not contribute to the meal, you will not be given a meal ticket and you may want to consider bringing a sack lunch for yourself.

If your last name begins with A-R, please bring a family size homemade side dish. Last names that begin with S-Z, please bring a family size dessert. Grills will be provided for your use; however, each attendee is responsible for their own meat and drink. Pitch-in contribution will be exchanged for meal tickets.

DONATIONS, PRIZES & RAFFLES: Everyone is asked to bring a donation for the prize table. Eighteen and older will be considered an adult for the prizes.

So CHILDREN aren't left out, anyone with children is be asked to bring an AGE APPROPRIATE donation for their children. These will go in gift bins for the younger cachers.
