THIRD ANNUAL CACHE SLASH FEST

SATURDAY OCTOBER 20th, 2007

This annual event is located in Sumner, Illinois and is being hosted by King of Halloween, Wolf Pack 359, STP10 & Knttrgrl, Mike Anderson 1492 & Whistlin in the dark and friends.

We would like to welcome Geocachers from all over to Cache Slash Fest 2007. We will have prizes, giveaways, and a Murder Mystery Cache with a grand prize. Again this year we hope to have several donations from area businesses. We hope to have something for all attendees. There will be several permenant caches in the area that will be activated the day of the event and will be loggable. There will also be a night cache trip, just for a scare. So bring your flashlight.

We will have a bonfire for roasting hotdogs which will be provided. Ice tea, coffee, hot chocolate and chips will also be provided. Bring a covered dish, drinks of your choice, and lawnchairs. Bring your kids too because we will have ours and there will be stuff for them to do.

The start time of this event hasn't been offically set but we plan to eat around 4 pm. Come and meet with fellow cachers and check out why the stretch of road between Wolf Pack 359 and The King of Halloween's house is by far the scarest in the county and possibly all of Southern Illinois.

Decorations provided by King of Halloween, Wolf Creek Cemetery & Ravenwood Hollow.

The T-Shirts will be available again this year and here is the design. If you are not familiar with the design it is a variation on a design by Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies. He was the artist in the opening credits for the PBS show MYSTERY. I thought it would be fitting with the theme of the event. The pricing and ordering information is also in the works. Keep checking back for further details.

Please post if you plan to come and what you plan to bring as a covered dish. We would like to know if you plan to attend as soon as you know so that we can have a head count to help with planning. Last year we had alittle over 100 attendees and would like to beat that. We also had attendees from several states and are always thrilled to add more states to the list.
