+maggieszoo Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Would anyone be interested in coming to an event in southern Ohio, loosely styled after Alien Encounter, with a magical theme? I would try to give good prizes, a meal at the end, and maybe mint a coin that could only be gotten at the event? Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 If you list the event and have a geocoin made for event, they will come and I will probably will too. Quote Link to comment
+Prairiepartners Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 No why not?? Quote Link to comment
+BVCY Swim Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 No why not?? Not really into Alien Encounter kinda games ... I just like plain 'ol caching in a group, and don't like competing. Other reasons, too, that are nobody's business but mine. Quote Link to comment
trekbabe Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Hey Maggie I would definatly be there, it sounds like a lot of fun....E-mail me if you need help or ideas. I'll do what I can. Quote Link to comment
+maggieszoo Posted December 9, 2005 Author Share Posted December 9, 2005 You may regret your offer!! I could use help finding someone to make wands (12-16"?) and/or broomsticks (small ones--like doll-sized). I think everything else I can get from Oriental Trading Company or make myself. The dragon eggs will be Ukrainian pysanky eggs, which should be a nice keepsake of the event. I'm planning on at least one phase of the event be a CITO phase to help clean up a local fishing spot. Now that half of the local law enforcement community is caching, I should get plenty of support!! Maggie Quote Link to comment
+Moo and Wug Smith Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 We might be interested. Which part of Southern Ohio and month? Quote Link to comment
+bikinibottomfeeders Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 I'd probably ride with Prairiepartners. Sounds like a day at hogwarts to me. Quote Link to comment
+DresselDragons Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Sounds fun...where in Ohio? Quote Link to comment
+maggieszoo Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 We might be interested. Which part of Southern Ohio and month? Waverly. Pike County. Just south of Chillicothe. I'm looking at sometime in June, maybe. Yep. Harry Potter, Hogwarts, and all that. You don't have to have read the books or seen the movie to play, but it might help (!?). If this goes over, maybe Narnia next year? Quote Link to comment
+DresselDragons Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Hubby's grandmother used to live in Waverly...we went to grad school at OU...hope I can talk him into going! As far as the wands go, don't know how much you want to spend, but we got a neat one when HP book 6 went on sale at midnight, at Barnes & Noble. It is 3 pieces...handle is a wooden coat rack "hook" (not curved like a hook) w/a wooden bead attached to it...then a small section of dowel rod was attached for the wand part. I don't know if that makes sense. If I can find it, I'll post a picture of it. Quote Link to comment

I don't know if that makes sense. If I can find it, I'll post a picture of it. That makes perfect sense. Just the sort of thing I was thinking! Next stop, Hobby Lobby!!! Quote Link to comment
+The NEOGeodogs Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yep! Let us know how it's progressing! Quote Link to comment
+maggieszoo Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Progressing pretty well! The date will be June 10, 2006. I don't have a name, yet, though. What do y'all think? Harry Potter's Hogwarts Holiday? or Maggieszoo's Magical Mystery Tour? Does everyone like chocolate frogs? Quote Link to comment
+S Keillan Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Progressing pretty well! The date will be June 10, 2006. I don't have a name, yet, though. What do y'all think? Harry Potter's Hogwarts Holiday? or Maggieszoo's Magical Mystery Tour? How about "No Muggles Here". Sounds like it could be fun. I might be interested in coming if we can get a carpool up and going.

+badlands Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Sounds like a fun event. Just moved from Cincinnati to Chicago, but it might be worth a road trip. Quote Link to comment
+SerenityNow Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 This sounds like lots of fun and we'd love to come! We'll mark the date on the calendar now! We started our Grand Caching Events here in northeast Ohio 3 years ago with a simple crossword puzzle car rally that was attended by 80 people. We love these kinds of things and attended two more the next year that were in the same style. They were a blast! Our second big event in 2004 drew 170 people and this year's Alien Encounter drew 250! Can't wait for your event Maggie! Bring it on!!! SerenityNow PS. While everyone is marking your calendars for Maggie's event, save Sept. 9, 2006 for FraggleStock... Peace, Love, and SerenityNow! Quote Link to comment
+maggieszoo Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 I went to this year's Alien Encounter and had such a great time that I wanted to do something along those lines for our part of the state. We don't have as many great parks as Cleveland area does, so our event will be more spread out and require more driving, but since it is mostly rural here, actual driving time won't be much different, just more miles. But the scenery is pretty here, so I don't think you'll mind. Wafflesdad and I spent most of lunch discussing just how it is going to work. There are some businesses that I think will get involved, so that will add to the fun. Not to mention the entire law enforcement/emergency services community here is now caching, so don't be surprised if you get pulled over by someone who is on duty to give their off-duty comrades a leg-up on you! Hmmmm.....that gives me an idea..... Quote Link to comment
