Geocaching has been around for 20 years. What started as a way for some friends to get out and use the technology has grown into a worldwide game. Geocaching brings people together from as close as across town to around the world.

To celebrate Geocaching’s 20^th anniversary, a party of ENORMOUS MAGNITUDE will take place in Seattle (well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but it will be a big one. Starting on May 2, 2020, two thousand twenty (2020) Community Celebration Events will be awarded a month for the next ten months that makes twenty thousand two hundred (20,200) events worldwide not only giving everyone a chance to participate in the party but a chance to get the special icon designated for these events. Maybe enormous is not so much of an exaggeration.

I am excited to host this event. As of this event date I am in my 16th year of geocaching. I will be visiting the Colorado Springs area from Minnesota and hope to meet and share geocaching stories with some local geocachers. Geocaching has been a great way to meet people, share stories, find help and just have fun. The details of my Community Celebration event are as follows:

Place: Memorial Park in Colorado Springs, CO.

When: Tuesday August 18,2020

Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

We should be at or by the two picnic tables. You're on your own for food and beverages.

Thank you and I hope you can join me.

There were many trackables at the event to Discover or Trade. I see there are only two more that have not been moved out of the event. Please check the trackables you picked up and Grab them from the event.

Thanks

What a fun event it was! I haven't been around this many people in a long time. Lots of bugs traded and numbers taken, plenty of amazing cachers to catch up with. It was also nice to meet the host and hear the reason for the event in our state! :) That was great! Thanks for hosting! you couldn't have picked a better location.

We will be returning from a week long caching trip up north the night before and hope to muster up enough energy to make one more short trip.

We will be in Divide during this time, so will try to make it. W&T let me know about the event, so thanks for that.

Looks like we will have a good group showing up. You may want to bring a chair along as there isn't a lot of available seating. Face masks are also a good idea. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

It was brought to my attention that I had two different event dates on my event page. The correct date of this event is Tuesday August 18, 2020. Sorry for the confusion and I hope you are still able to attend.

Need clarification.
Is this event Sunday, August 16th? or Tuesday, August 18th?
Both dates are mentioned in the description
