Our annual Hall of Fame Picnic is this Saturday and it’s coming fast! We’ve been hard at work getting everything ready for the event, so I hope to see many, many faces there.

First, we have placed 19 new caches at the park. These will NOT be published UNTIL Saturday afternoon on geocaching.com, so that means those at the event get first dibs at all the new fun. All of these caches will also be worked in with the Scavenger Hunt that the Devil Duckies — Peter and Judy — have worked on. That should be a total blast!

Including the event and the Covered Bridge cache already in the park, that leaves a total of 21 possible smileys to grab for the day.We will have sheets with the coordinates and also, hopefully, have a laptop to help people load the caches into their GPS units, so please bring your cords if you could!

We will release coordinates for the caches at 9:45 a.m. and go over the rules for the scavenger hunt in time for the 10 a.m. sendoff. There are prizes for ALL THREE games that we will be doing for the day, so be ready to go for it!

Everything starts at 9:30 a.m. Saturday at Glimmerglass State Park. There is a $7 per carload entry fee for the park, but it is free if you have the Empire Passport.

The schedule is as follows:

9:30 a.m.: Start to check in, get info on new caches, grab a bingo card and information on scavenger hunt. We’ll also have some breakfast items available so you can get the belly full before going on a day of caching and hiking.

9:45 a.m.: Go over rules for scavenger hunt and other games as needed.

10 a.m.: Scavenger hunt officially starts and new caches are available to find!

10 a.m.-2 p.m.: Cache, scavenger hunt, mingle, bingo etc.

1-2 p.m.: We’ll start cooking lunch and there will be plenty of food available beyond 2 p.m. as well.

2 p.m.: All scavenger hunt items must be turned in by this time. Final bingo card must be turned in as well.

2:30 p.m.: Group photo.

2:45 p.m.: Micro toss (prizes!)

3:15 p.m.: Drawing for raffle prizes.

3:30 p.m.: Mingle, cache or whatever else. Thanks for coming!

We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend and let’s hope for good weather! Glimmerglass is an incredible park and hopefully everyone will have the opportunity to discover it.

We will hand these out as part of the package, but if you are interested in checking them out beforehand, you can see the Glimmerglass Trail Map by clicking here.

See everyone Saturday!
