+Shop99er Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I know what you're saying...."Spring Fling 2008?!!? That's 7 months away!" Believe me I know, I know! This is must a BIG heads up so you can buy those cute kitty or puppy calendars at Christmas time and get them marked. Spring Fling 2008 Eagles Hall (same place as last year) Port Orchard, Kitsap County, WA May 10, 2008 We are back at the same location as last year. It worked well for us so why change what works? Well, we are going to change a few things...... The Frog Fling for the adults is going to be bigger and badder next year. It will be completely player hands on! You pick your frog, you load the sling, you aim, you fire! We ain't sayin' it safer... we're just sayin' we KNOW you want to fling those things and we're gonna let ya! For the raffle.....yeah, we know it went on wayyyy to long this year... we are going to hold several raffle sessions during the day. We are thinking about having you put your names on the tickets so you don't have to be in the building at that exact drawing moment to win. We know it was a problem and we're working on solving that problem. Other than that...... ~~ The GPS Accuracy contest for both kids and adults will stay the same. ~~ ~~ The Shark Hunt (scavenger hunt) will remain the same ~~ ~~ The Chicken Chuckin' will stay the same. ~~ ~~ It's still going to be a pot luck ~~ ~~ It's still going to have the Adventurers Lounge for rest and refreshments ~~ ~~ We are still going to reserve the Manchester State Park group camp for those of you wishing to camp Friday and Saturday night. ~~ So get out that new calendar and start marking it up! While you're at it.... go on over to the Yahoo Calendar (pinned above) and mark out all the Oregon, Washington and BC events for next year! Quote Link to comment
+SeabeckTribe Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Got my Geo 2008 Calendar. The first thing that got Geomarked was the Spring Fling. Looking forward to another great year filled with lots of Geo Events! Quote Link to comment
+-Hawk- Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Raffles and contests and Frog Flings OH MY!! , and it is only a mere 7 months away!! Where does the time go? Oh Yeah...silly me, helping plan these things out! Looking forward to it once again! Quote Link to comment
Team Misguided Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 ~~ We are still going to reserve the Manchester State Park group camp for those of you wishing to camp Friday and Saturday night. ~~ The camping was a great addition last year. It was nice to just sit back around the campfire, relax and tell caching stories until the wee hours of the morning. Quote Link to comment

+Shop99er Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 We've got another new feature for Spring Fling!.... you know our motto...if it's worth doing, it's worth OVER doing!! This year we are going to have a Lego table for the kids. I've been collecting Lego blocks for months and have a nice tub full. So, for the kids who don't want to be outside running around they can sit and build things. This isn't another 'give away' Spring Fling feature. Please make sure that your kids put the blocks back into the box when they're done. Quote Link to comment

And has anyone called NWairlight yet? We are currently interviewing suitable 'spotters' for Chooch during the Spring Fling. Once he's outside the authority of the Spring Fling we can't be held responsible. Although we do feel enough affection for Chooch that we will be available to tie boat bumpers and old tires to him just in case... LEGOS?? did I hear legos? Is there an age limit on the Lego table? Of course not! Anyone, of any age, who wants to play can. Although we will be patting all the adults down for 'missing' blocks. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 MORE! There's more for Spring Fling? What's wrong with you people?... oh I can just hear it now.... Yeah, there's more new stuff for Spring Fling this year. In addition to the raffle we are also going to have a silent auction. A what? A silent auction! For those of you who don't know how this works. It's 'silent' in that you don't have an guy rattling off numbers and you don't have to throw your hand up in the air and holler 'yuuup'. It's silent in that you wander up to the raffle table, look at the sheet with the auction items on it, figure out how much you'll bid, write that down along with your name and wander off. You can keep checking back to see if you're out bid and bid more. Why? Oh why are you adding more things!?!! Well, we are getting a fantastic selection of coins for the raffle this year and I mean some really great limited edition coins! We thought that it might be nice that if you really REALLY wanted a coin you could bid on it and not just trust your luck with the raffle. Right now we have 3 silent auction items. We have a silver Geocaching Jedi coin, a two tone Compass Rose coin and a copper Geocache America (limited to 10!!) coin up for auction. We may have one more item but no more than 4 things will be on the block. If no one bids, they go in the raffle pot. We keep nothing. Which isn't to say there isn't a lot of whining and sad moist eyes when we open the envelopes that come from our sponsors. All money made from the raffle and auction go towards making sure there is a Spring Fling next year. This year we, again, rented out the Eagles lower level and the group camp at Manchester State Park. In addition to that huge pay out we also print and laminate badges for everyone who signs up for a badge and this year we are going to have honest to Ethel lanyards to hang your badges from! Then there's the kid's goodie bags, the 20 or so pounds of BBQ Brisket.... ummmm brisket...... ... so... where was I... Oh YEAH! The silent auction! We, that being DSVaughn, are working on the new Silent Auction web page. You will be able to click a link at the Spring Fling home page and see what's being offered! ....whew! I'm tired already!

I would suggest a face shield, catcher's mask, goalie's mask, or some such similar protective device. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, there's more information. No, we never stop. First the bad news. We won't be brewing our own Spring Fling beer this year. The brewey we used went out of business last month. However, that doesn't mean the Adventurers Lounge will be without beverage. We will be featuring a good selelction of speciality and micro brews at the lounge. Now the indifferent news. After some testing we won't be having the Big Freaking Wall of Froggy Terror for the Frog Flinging. We saw it wasn't going to work. Now we are having the Lily Pads of Doom in the Pond of Dispair. A new scoring system will ensure that if your frog hits the ground you WILL get a score! And the good news? Since GeoDoggies are welcome at our event we are going to have GeoDoggie name tags! Let me know the name of your GeoDoggie and we will have a badge waiting for them at registration! AND more good news? Well we are just slopping over in sponsorships. As of right now we have over 125 items to raffle off! More good news? We are going to start raffling off items as soon as we have sold enough tickets to make it a fair playing field. The raffle is going to go on all day! No more waiting until the end of the day to sit through raffle numbers, winners announcements and what ever else we can think of to keep you there! And if that weren't enough... we now have a Moun10bike version 3 coin in the raffle ANDDDD we have a Moun10bike version 3 coin and Moun10like combo coin set in the Silent Auction. We do have Moun10bike's blessing to do the raffle and auction. Now if the auction items and raffle tickets weren't enough to just vacuum the dollars right out of your pocket we are also going to have WorldCachers.com as our vendor this year. You just aren't going home empty handed from Spring Fling. Not if we can help it! And yes.... we are going to be having the chocolate fountain as well as double the amount of smoked brisket as last year. Quote Link to comment

+Shop99er Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 I suppose with That many sponsors, no more items are needed Uhh..Wrong. Please do not assume that you know how much an event of this size and complexity costs. This is not a simple meet & greet at a pizza parlor. Spring Fling incurs a huge personal expense on our part. The venue has to be rented, required paperwork and permits have to be paid for. All of the game equpiment, fence material, banners, signs, crew coins, and hardhats are paid for by us. The beer is paid for by us and the co-host. A large percentage of the food and drink is paid for by us. It is expensive to throw an event for 200+ people. The items that the sponsors send are raffled/auctioned to ensure that there is a Spring Fling next year. Even with the fantastic sponsorships last year, the Fling was several hundred dollars short of breaking even. That cost comes out of our personal pockets. Any and all sponsorships are welcome and greatly apprieciated up to and including the day of the event. Quote Link to comment

If only you had a clue as to what goes into these events that we put on! As Shop99er mentioned, there is ALOT of personal funds put into these events. They described those expenses and I will not add any more in regards to that. The Sponsors, are of course, a big reason you have these events at your disposal, to attend. As they mentioned, this ain't your run of the mill Meet-n-Greet. What I will add, is the amount of personal time put into the events we put on. As of the day after the Luau (In August), we are working on the design and intricacies of the Fling. This includes the time of all 40 crew members that go through email, phone and in person meetings. Put a price tag on that! All 40 of us have put our heart and soul into this event, without the benefit of being compensated, and not a one of us complains about it. It is true dedication at it's best, to ensure that you have a good time. This is not including the time spent in meetings with those sponsors, that are so very important to the continuation of these events. Quote Link to comment

Last time first out on 1st by just a quarter of inch!! Thanks to everyone for putting this together! I have a good idea of the time and committment it takes! It is greatly appreciated! You have done well. I just checked the "Hall of Shame" where you had the following: 2005 GeoLuau 1st session. 168" from GZ, 2nd session you were #2 with 27" 2007 Spring Fling you were #2 with 10.5 inches GeoLuau IV you were #1 with .75 inches In the 2005 GeoLuau we also measured bearing as well as distance from GZ and plotted them on a universal plotting board. In the morning session we got a plot you would expect with the flags being placed in a cluster around GZ. In the afternoon session the flags were off to one side of GZ. I expect the satellites were in a row. Best time to try at the GPS Accuracy Game is when you have good satellite arrangement with satellites from many directions. Wait until you are receiving a lot of bars with "Ds" on them indicating you are getting corrections from WAAS ground stations. As a general rule morning session is probably better. If you need help getting your GPS set up ask any of the crew. Someone will be familiar with your GPS. Not sure we can help if you have one of the new Garmin Colorado.
