A recent trend in late-October candy-harvesting has been the trunk-or-treat events designed as a safer way for costumed children to get their goods. This event-cache is meant to be a similar way for the children of geocachers to gather and meet each other, while collecting some amount of treats as well. Come out to Severson Dells Forest Preserve picnic shelter from 4 â 5 PM for a good time of meet 'n' greet 'n' candy-eat!
Whether you're a costumed kid-cacher, a caching parent with trick-or-treating children, or even a caching grandparent who just enjoys granting grand grins to growing guys and gals, come out with the rest of us for this family-friendly, fun, fall, forest-frolic, fructose-feasting festival!
Adult geocachers should bring plenty of treats to share with all the kids. Consider passing out candy from a large-sized cache container, if you like. There are lots of picnic tables here, and each cacher can stake out a table and pass out treats as the kids roam around showing off their costumes. I don't know how many kids we'll have, so plan to bring plenty for the adults to share afterward as well! (Since this is before the actual Halloween night, you can always pass out leftovers on Monday, too.)
What I'm saying is: better extra than not enough!
The FTF for this event will be awarded via votes for the best costume (adult or child)!
