Geowoodstock X Registration Is OPEN!
Exciting news! GeoWoodstock X registration opens this weekend. The store and registration are open.
Realizing times are hard we've done our best to keep prices as low as possible. In fact, we were able to match last year and in most cases lower the price. Much of the content is similar to what you've seen in the past but with a hearty sprinkling of Kentuckiana charm. That's right you will be visiting Kentuckiana, the term used to refer to the Louisville metropolitan area including counties in both Indiana and Kentucky.
The store is stocked with event coins, Louisville Slugger baseball bats, trading pathtags for the event, trading cards and one very special item. GeoWoodstock X is all about bringing it back to its roots and we've done just that. A geocoin will be designed to commemorate the first GeoWoodstock. This coin is available only in the store and is not included in any of the registration packages.
So, as you sit down to place an order or register, remember to add some extra swag for gifts and future event donations. Don't forget to mention to that special someone that a trip to GeoWoodstock X would make a great present.
As with any new endeavor there may be a few glitches so we ask for your patience as we launch the store and registration. Let us know if there are any issues. We will be glad to help. The procedure for asking questions is through the GeoWoodstock X website. From the home page, click the Communicate tab. Please check the FAQ first. If your question isn't answered in Frequently Asked Questions, Contact Us. Leave us a message and we will be back with you as quickly as possible.
We can’t wait to see you in our little ‘burg.

In planning the Belle of Louisville cruise, the team wanted to make it as affordable as possible. If you book a cruise through the Belle website it costs $19 for adults and $10 for children.

A few tickets have been set aside for infants; however, they are limited. Once these tickets are gone there will be no more comped tickets. Please contact us regarding these tickets.
