+Crowesfeat30 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Has a date been set for this event? Please do not say 10/10/10 as I will most likely have a scheduling conflict and once again will not be able to attend. CF30 Edited October 12, 2009 by Crowesfeat30 Link to comment
+Team Shydog Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 The link to their website that NOSNOW posted on this thread listed the dates as 10-8-10 through 10-10-10. Link to comment

I guess I will not be going to this one either... I guess I'm doomed to never attend a geocoinfest. CF30 Link to comment
+NOSNOW Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 It sounds like the Twin Cities is going to be filled with Geocoins next fall, with all the positive responses. Before putting any plans in stone, give us time to get home and shovel out of the blizzard that must have blown in while we were in Salt Lake City. The dates and time are still tentative. We will be keeping the forum and our website up to date. Link to comment
avroair Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Congratulations to the winning bid of Twin Cities, the voting was very close and both the finalists did a great job with their bids. What this means for 10-10-10 who knows yet, but I'll be there! Link to comment
+sweetlife Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 We are VERY Excited That we can finally attend a Geocoin Fest. It will be our first. We get to finally get involved in the mist of the geocoin crazyness. LOL Link to comment
+JohnMac56 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Congrat's to Minnesota I only have 1 request (I already passed this on to avroair); I'd really appreciate the event being scheduled on a weekend when the Vikings are playing at home I'd like to see my team play :DI hope that's not too much to ask. Sincerely, tsun LMAO!!! That is exactly what I told Johnslady56 when they announced that it was going to be held in Minnesota. I had no idea that you were a Vikings fan also, maybe we can arrange a special deal on some tickets for a game while we are there.... Link to comment
YemonYime Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) Has a date been set for this event? Please do not say 10/10/10 as I will most likely have a scheduling conflict and once again will not be able to attend. CF30 This brings up a good point. I know that I'm not the only one who mentioned this at GCF:SLC, but I think we all need to have a serious discussion about how the talk of 10-10-10 event planning could potentially kill attendance at GCF 2010. If folks are encouraged to stay local for smaller events, who's gonna be heading to Minnesota? That's the equivalent of Jimi Hendrix staying in Seattle for Woodstock. Just sayin'...we oughta look into the potential impact for the sake of the fine folks who are gonna be putting together GCF:Twin Cities. It seems like a foregone conclusion that GCF will have to be on a different weekend now. Edited October 13, 2009 by YemonYime Link to comment

I hope you are right...although the hubby gets all those nifty federal holidays off now, the kids and I do not. Plus I already had a 10/10/10 event planned (at least in my head). Link to comment
+LionsLair Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 snip... ....It seems like a foregone conclusion that GCF will have to be on a different weekend now. maybe pushing it forward a month or so would take the possibility of snow out of the equation and still not interfere with the 10-10-10 events.

Born and bred with purple blood my friend (I originally hail out of Minnesota but it's been years...Twinkies (Twins) and Vikes ). I think we could probably find a small group to go together even if it's only preseason. It'd be fun to party with a bunch of Purple People Eaters Once we get some sort of gauge on a date, I'll be making my plans Let's pray for a good GCF date, lol. Link to comment
+Crowesfeat30 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 *snippy* Plus I already had a 10/10/10 event planned (at least in my head). Me too! The hostess of our local Fall Picnic is already enthused about the prospect of having a combined Fall Picnic & 10/10/10 event (complete with a 10/10/10 coin). CF30 Link to comment
+NOSNOW Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 You guys got me all EXCITED that when I got home I would be able to build a snowman, make snow angles and power up the snow blower. Boy did I have a let down! There was not even enough snow for a broom. I could not even make a foot angel. I just LOVE the snow. We put our bid together using the Columbus Day weekend as we were directed to. We hear all of you. But please give us a chance, to have a kick off meeting with the team. This is our first day back and we are assembling our notes from the event. Maybe December would be a good month for Geocoinfest, and then we could all make snow angels. Or maybe January, and we could combine it with the Coolest Celebration on Earth, the Saint Paul Winter Carnival. We will be keeping everyone up to date. Thanks NOSNOW Link to comment
+rcm999 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 With GCF SLC 2009, 100 days out, it's time to work on the destination for 2010! I am certainly not having it in my backyard. So where should we have Geocoinfest in 2010. Anyone interested in hosting it? I have a cheat sheet if you are interested. What it takes: Team: A leadership team of 3-4 people City: A destination that has broad appeal and accessible airports Location: Big enough for 700 mad coiners! Craziness and Energy: A lil of both! Past events: Geocoin Fest Salt Lake City 2009 Geocoin Fest Pittsburgh 2008 Geocoin Fest Multi Events Geocoinfest Temecula, CA 2007 Nashville, TN - Opryland Convention Center. Tons of things to do in the area, centrally located. Great food, friendly folks, lots of cool small towns nearby - - - like Bell Buckle, and a lot of caches waiting to be discovered. Link to comment
+ZeroHecksGiven Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Already taking a quick look at ticket prices and I might actually try and come out for this if the rates stay under the $300 mark. Find the crappiest motel in the city(maybe not the crappiest) and use the bus system, woohoo! Gecoins all day, caches all night! Can't wait to hear final dates and this to get a little closer Link to comment
