I was thinking about hosting a picnic this fall, it would more than likely be a pot luck, around October 2nd. any opinions?
What I'm thinking is:
Start at 10:30 with a kids geocache (ammo can just for kids) Lunch at 12:00 Raffle at 1:00 (items will be needed by donation) Kids caching Bing Prize at 1:30

I'd be up for it, just let me know for sure on the date, so I can make sure I will be in town and not at work.

Can't make 10:30, but we could be there in time for Lunch. But, where are we gonna go? Your place? Is this a forum event, or one that's gonna be listed at GC.com? I know, I'm just full of questions... But the date seems OK to me too.

(well 3 flash mobs 1 day) "Flash Mob"? What's that? I can look up the actual Christmas Break dates for Kankakee Dist 111 and Bourbonnais Dist 53 and post that info here by tomorrow evening. Typically, it's a full 2 Weeks. Looking at this year's Calender, I would guesstimate that the kids will be off from Monday, 12-20-10 until Monday, 1-3-11. Pretty sure I'll have those weekends Off from work. As usual, this won't play well with your ideas or plans.

I was looking at: Flash Mob Morning near GC24Y33 The Number 3. at either the gazebo or down in front of the river, then an after noon near GC217WA Bifrost next to the pond, and then either a dinner at Old Country Buffet, or an evening flash mob elsewhere.

Supper at the Buffet sounds good, as do the AM and PM locations. Depending on the Times for these Events, I might even be able to make them if you choose Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday~ the typical days I have the part time guy in the office so that I can get away from work. Supper, (assuming after the 5:00 or 5:30 Hour) we should be able to make either way. Depending on the timing of the Mob Events, I may show up in the most unusual Cache Mobile... my 1 ton Work truck. But... it's Possible!
Sorry to see that the Oct. 2nd thing didn't happen with the Camper. Such things happen when we have to consider everyone's Work Schedules. I still think this is worth a shot. Especially if listed at the GC Site, as you may have more takers for this then you might expect. Just look at the GSAK Class I have listed.... filled up faster than I thought it might. As a suggestion, list all 2 or 3 Mob Events AND the supper gathering all on One Listing at the GC Site. That way folks that can make it to even One of the 3 could be allowed to post an Attended Log for the Smiley/Credit. Make Posting a Pic a requirement for the Found It, no matter which one they attend.
Just an Idea from me. You can, of course, take it or Leave it. But I like the idea as I stated it and you might get more Attendees that way. Especially for the Supper get together. That really seemed to work out OK on July 3rd, remember? Whatever you decide to do, I hope I can make it to at least One meet up on that particular day. Especially the Supper part! Yum!! ;D EDIT: The Events on July 3rd were listed as 2 Events. I think that made a difference then. I still am thinking that this/these 2-3 Mobs + the Supper Event would be better listed as a Single Event at the GC Site. Again, entirely up to you.
