[Az-Geocaching] Event Caches

[EvilFISH]

I would like to chime in and mention a few words about Event caches....

The first Event cache that I attended was a great Pot Luck in a park, many people showed most brought food some ate what was there...One caching group graciously donated a lot of food...


Time Passed and I planned my first event a breakfast cache that did take some planning and convincing the restaurant manager that our group would be welcomed group. I did this for 2 reasons I knew very few cachers and had a minor income the buffet was very affordable for me and everyone else.

the results several caching groups and teams went out together after eating finding caches together...

due to several reasons some of which were change of residences and business closing the breakfast caches turned into Pizza Caches at restaurants with a large area which allowed several people to sit next to each other and low cost very affordable Good Food. currently at a location that Geocachers are welcome at any time and any number..and yes I am looking for a banquet room at a Chinese Restaurant for a low price....

The next True Park Cache was the Halloween cache a very nice event well planned and well run activities, but imho weird lighting :) but for a park cache very nice and the second was just as good...

There have been several other events in-between 

Casa Grande
Prescott
Tucson
Yuma 
Bull Head City

some were above expectations some not, but All of which did 2 things brought Cachers together and increased the networking of local and far away cachers...which is the true success of any event cache even in the rain....

  Given this would be my first event cache, I'd be happy with a pizza type event...  Maybe with an 'event in the park' once it cools off, like in December!  Or, what about meeting up on Mt. Lemmon, where it's cooler?

    A lot of talk about a Tucson event cache has come up in the past few months, but with the heat the way it is, I'm not sure an 'event in the park' would be all that enjoyable until around September or so.... unless we want to follow Phoenix's lead and have a pizza type event.
