Hello from the GeoWoodstock X Team
Wow! It is FINALLY time we can tell our geocaching friends that GeoWoodstock X will bring the event back to its roots. The 2012 event will be held on the Sunny Side of Louisville in Sellersburg, Indiana.
One would be hard-pressed to find another location as rich in GeoWoodstock history as the Louisville/Southern Indiana area. From the very first GeoWoodstock held in Louisville, area geocachers have always been a part of GeoWoodstock history.
From its inception, many of the area geocachers have followed GeoWoodstock across the nation year after year. Of the original 75 attendees, 24 are InKy (the Southern Indiana/Louisville KY geocaching group) members. Of the Elite Eight, those who have attended all GeoWoodstock events, four are InKy members.
Three of the four event organizers have attended many GeoWoodstock events and understand the enormous preparation and background work entailed in putting an event of this size together. Organizers have supported GeoWoodstock from its inception. Three were attendees at the first GeoWoodstock held in Louisville, Kentucky. Two have attended all past GeoWoodstock events. Another has attended seven GeoWoodstock events and managed on-site registration at the first GeoWoodstock I and VII. Our fourth member attended his first GeoWoodstock in Warren this year.
The GeoWoodstock X Team hit the road running as soon as we were awarded the bid. Plans are locked in place for venues, events, food and lots more. Follow us on Facebook for updates. We will be pushing out news a little at a time so check back often.
But, what is GeoWoodstock and what can you expect? GeoWoodstock is the world's largest geocaching event but most of all it is FUN! It is a laid back social event. It is an opportunity to meet cachers from your region and around the world. Rub elbows with new cachers, geocaching legends, extreme cachers, geocaching vendors, lackeys … well, you get the picture. Everyone will be converging on Sellersburg, Indiana to celebrate the 10 anniversary of GeoWoodstock.
Come celebrate the 10th annual GeoWoodstock. Spend the day socializing or spend the week touring our fabulous region. It's all up to you.
