The GCCO has been hard at work over the last few months to recharge and revamp, and is excited to jump into 2023 with some fun events! Kicking things off for this year, we welcome you to the...

2023 1st Annual Spring Fling!   

   

 When: May 20th from 12:00pm-2:00pm
Where: Highlands Ranch Library 9292 S. Ridgeline Blvd. Highlands Ranch, CO 80129

So, where does the FLING part come in? We are glad you asked! (Warning: This is going to be a jam packed 2 hours so hold on tight!)

Prizes!

Purchase tickets to have a chance to win from a broad selection of prizes ranging from cache containers, coins, TBs, and lots off “ooh!” and “aaahhh” items! If you have items that you think would make a great addition to our raffle prize table, please bring them and you just might just get a few free raffle tickets to boot!

Bison Tree!

What is more enticing than a tree full of bison tubes, filled with mystery prizes ranging from tickets, racer tags, and even a year’s membership to Geocaching.com?! (No tree climbing required!) For just $5, take your pick of tubes and see what treasure awaits you!

The Launch of our 2023 TB Race!

That’s right, it is time to race again! Bring a TB of your choice with code to see who can go the farthest, most countries, etc. TBs need to have 0 miles logged and a TB code. Race tags explaining the race to those that move it along will be provided to add to your racer. We will also have a limited number of GCCO TB racers with unique codes available for purchase at the event.

Fun Games!

Hmmm, I wonder what creative fun the GCCO has for us to mix and mingle and share some laughs……Psst…little hint…you may want to come prepared like any good geocacher would be.

Did Someone Say Pot Luck?!

Rifle through those most loved recipes and bring a dish of your choice to share! Something savory or sweet, hot or cold, healthy or not, it’s your choice. The only rule is that it has to be yummy! Oh, and bring a favorite non-alcoholic beverage for yourself. 

Coins!

A selection of GCCO coins will be available for purchase for $15 each, in case you need to add to (or start up) that must have collection! (The 2023 Coin is in the works too, by the way!)

So, all YOU have to do is:

  • Get yourself to GZ on the appropriate day and time (not optional)
     
  • Bring some cool new donations to add to the prize table (optional)
     
  • Tote in a yummy food item to share and a non-alcoholic beverage for yourself (optional)
     
  • Have that wallet handy for all those coins and tickets you are going to want!
    Money goes to help fund future events, raise awareness and excitement of geocaching within our great state of Colorado, and pay for the GCCO Board annual trip to Belize! 
    Just kidding, did we mention we are non-profit?

We took a Thelma and Louise road trip to far away land today. Had Louise riding shot gun to a great event. Had fun with the bikini cacher and ran into her hours later at a cache. Great turn out. Thanks for hosting.

Came bringing sausage rolls for the pot luck and was surprised to see someone had moved them to the dessert table! Manned the trackable table, logged all the TBs for the race and even won a couple of prizes. Thanks GCCO Board and Jinxer05 for putting this all together.

Great time at the GCCO Spring Fling. It was nice to see everyone and meet new catchers. The BINGO was fun, because I got to meet new cachers. The pot luck was great.
