ATMouse Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have some geocoins to donate - heck, this is an event I've helped arrange for years! You betcha, you is gonna get some geocoins from the Mousehole! Many, many thanks to ATMouse for such a generous donation... Yes, we is DEFINITELY gonna give away some geocoins! I remember the first year we gave away coins at the ASPGB Coin Expo...me standing on a folding chair calling names pulled from a hat. There were not so many geocoiners there - the hard core and the "OOO, look, shinies!" geeks (me) We had nearly enough to give EVERYONE who came a coin...then some generous folks stepped forward and shoved a bunch more into my hands and everyone did get a coin. Dang, that was fun! I look forward to the Expo this year. The Hall we are gonna use is just terrific...and it's heated. Not that we will need it, right? Quote Link to comment

+PaRacers Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 The ASPGB V GeoCoin Expo was a smashing success! Our building was so crowded, at times it was hard to walk through. We gave away a geocoin every two minutes for nearly two hours! Thank You to all who donated coins to make that possible. Quote Link to comment
