North Florida FGA Event

Postby Tallahassee-Lassie » Mon Feb 08, 2010 9:34 pm

I typed this up once already today and the computer crash loosing everything. Hope I don't forget anything this go around.

The event - GC23E8J - is scheduled for March 6th in Perry at the Florida Capital State Park, Museum and Cracker Homestead. Admission to the park is free but there is a $2 fee to enter the Museum and Cracker Homestead - which I hope you will do. You can get the rest of the details from the cache event page.

Here is some information on accomodations in the area:

Camping - The Perry KOA is right down the street from the park. I'm not promoting it but it is very nice. They have offered a discount based on a certain number of campers. If you are interested contact me directly (tally-lass@comcast.net) for more information. Rocky's Campground is further down the road. I know nothing about it. I was told by a local that it is nice but not family oriented.

Hotels: My oh my ... Perry is FULL of hotels. There is a Hampton Inn, the Days Inn, America's Best Value Inn and so many more.

The FGA will be providing the main course for lunch and I have arranged for pull pork sandwiches from the local establishment Goodman's BBQ. So a head count is very important. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post your intention to attend so I can make sure we have enough.

If you have any questions please contact me.

FYI.....the Perry Hampton Inn is a great hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean AND since they don't have a liquor license, they GIVE away beer, wine and whiskey for free in the afternoon. In addition they have good free snacks between 4:00pm and 6:00pm.

Just tell them you know C & K and there will be a martini waiting for you at check-in.

For those who may be interested: I will be glad to lead a caching run after the event back towards Steinhatchee . MGM has a fine caching run along some of the back roads. I can load everything from Gsak for you if you bring your six digit GC.com member ID number.

I was hoping to make this, but husband is home sick. I'm not going to leave him home...and I'm sure not taking him.

Fantastic event in Perry yesterday. This is just the beginning of good things that FGA is doing for caching in our wonderful state. Good job Tallahassie-Lassie, et al, for a fun time. :ammo:

We enjoyed our first trip to Perry. Good food, lots of cachers we had not met before and good fellowship. We had a lot of fun caching in the area as well. Thanks Sandi for all the work that went into this one. Good to see how many Reps were at this event as well.
