Geocache Description:

BATTLE CREEK REGIONAL PARK

Our 13th consecutive year!!

Come one, come all. We are inviting cachers from across the Midwest to join us in celebrating the thirteenth annual Halloween Hoopla. We are trying to get as many cachers as possible to attend this year to make this one HUGE event. There will be activities planned all day long. Check back often to see what we have been cooking up in the witches’ cauldron. There is not camping available close by, but there are plenty of hotels in the area of Battle Creek Regional Park. Make your reservations soon. Please log a will attend (stating the number of people in your group) if you think that you will be coming so we can accurately plan the logistics.

Another fantastic get together! It's been so much fun putting faces to the screen names at the previous events, we just couldn't wait to do it AGAIN. Plan on coming to meet some NEW friends too! Anyone who has ever geocached in Minnesota, or wishes to learn how, is welcome to come! This will be a very relaxed, casual gathering.

Costumes are encouraged but not required!
