It is that time of year again when folks from the Space Coast and surrounding areas gather for some Christmas cheer. Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukah or anything else you are welcome to join us for some plain ole fun. This event is nothing more than cachers gathering at a wonderful park, sharing some holiday cheer and talking geocaching. This year we decided to stay with the theme "A Charlie Brown Christmas" because Barb and I could not agree more about how this and all holiday's have become so commercialized. There will be no big meal, but we would like everyone to bring their favorite (HOMEMADE) holiday snack to share. No need to stop at your favorite grocery store to pick up something as we have that stuff at all events. So if you are famous for making buckeyes bring them, chocolate chip cookies those sound good, or maybe some good old fashion sugar cookies in the shape of a Christmas tree. Whatever you feel like sharing will be eaten.
We will have another white elephant gift exchange for those that choose to participate. Bring a gift valued between $5.00 - 10.00. This does NOT need to be a brand new gift. You are more than welcome to bring some recycled gift that was given to you last year that you have no idea what you are supposed to do with it...perfect bring it wrapped and pawn it off on someone else. We will explain all the rules once everyone is there.
This years event will take place at a new location. Viera Regional Park in Viera, FL is this years choice. It is a beautiful park with a pavilion on the water, trails, kids playground, several baseball fields and more. Oh yeah, there are even some caches in the park for your caching pleasure. We hope to see all our friends at this event. We are looking forward to meeting new ones as well. Come out and share the afternoon with a great group of people. We are hoping a new location further to the South will bring more folks from the Southern end of the county as well as our friends from Indian River County and South.
