HERE YE HERE YE!

As some of you may be aware we will be holding a creative cache container contest at the fall event. We would like you to bring a creative cache, for judging, to the event. There will be prizes given out for the categories listed below. You are not required to bring a container to attend the event. Everyone will be allowed to vote that attends.

Caches entered into the contest will be placed on a picnic table for observation and judging. Although we would like for them to be in a natural setting, it is conceivable that we’d miss one or two.

Here are the categories:
- Best Overall
- Most Creative
- Best Craftsmanship

The cache needs to be constructed in such a way that it could actually be placed as a cache in the wild (must be able to stand up to the elements without falling apart or leaking). It must contain a log book and should be given a cache name (written on the log book).

When you check in and enter your cache, you will be assigned a number. This number will be written on the first page of the log.

One voting slip will be handed to each person when they check in. When you vote, you will use the number on the first page of the log to indicate which cache you are voting for.


So be creative and most importantly have fun. We are looking forward to all the great containers for the contest.


If you have any questions, you can email or PM me. I'll be happy to answer any questions. If you are considering bringing a container, please let me know. That way we have an idea of the count, but we will gladly accept any that just show up at the event. Wink

Can I have more than one entry? I assume, based on the rules, the existing caches out in the wild do not qualify? Some of my better stuff is out in the wild.

I didn't look.. when is the fall event?

Yes, we will except multiple entries. "Wild" caches do not apply unless you plan to bring them to the event.

The event Is Oct 11th at Rice Creek Chain of Lakes park.

Hope to see some good containers!

I deleted my post - the 11th is correct.

And for the record, I'm not the prez.

I know. But it's like saying President Clinton. You aren't now but once was.
