Sponsored by the West Bend Chamber of Commerce, West Bend will be holding a large event on August 15, 16, and possibly 17th. This event will be having either a large cash prize of $1000.00 or possibly two $500 dollar prizes *which would you prefer? – asking for suggestions. Earth Angel and LDove are working with the Chamber to release 50, yep you read it right, 50 new PERMANENT caches the day of the event. We will have a treasure chest/key unlock prize drawing at the registration table and many other goodies for participants. It should be a great weekend with lots of fun things happening! Make your reservations now at Washington County’s local campgrounds or hotels for this weekend event. More info to come, we are working on the event page now.

Edited to add: Any other cachers interested in helping with the cache placement, being on the committee (meet once or twice a month for about an hour), contact LDove or Earth Angel from Ecorangers for more information.

Great news!
Finally a great big event that doesn’t require a 6 hour drive to get to.
THANKS!!!!

…and two $500 prizes or even 4 $250’s would be my choice.

Great news!
Sounds like a great big event that DOES require a 6 hour drive to get to.
THANKS!!!!

More smaller prizes would be preferable to one great big prize.

This whole post isn’t another P.U. What a Stinker joke, is it?

LOL 😆 😆 We hope to make all these caches as “lameless” as possible. In addition to the 50 new ones, you can still visit all the great West Bend caches while here. Which I see by looking back Mr. Greenthumb you have not visited my PU, What a Stinker lame cache, how lame is that???? 😛

Either have I… but I logged that I did. That’s even “lamer” (is lamer a word?)

This event definitely has my interest… I might even get to find that lame stinker cache if I find myself in your neck of the state.

lame 1 (lām) Pronunciation Key
adj. lamÂ·er, lamÂ·est

1. Disabled so that movement, especially walking, is difficult or impossible: Lame from the accident, he walked with a cane. A lame wing kept the bird from flying.
2. Marked by pain or rigidness: a lame back.
3. Weak and ineffectual; unsatisfactory: a lame attempt to apologize; lame excuses for not arriving on time.

Yup, I guess it is 😀

A big event within a half hour drive? I think I just wet myself. Looking forward to it. I hope I don’t end up with plans that will trump it.

$ and 50 caches is a HUGE draw already. Perhaps a promise that the prizes are not for FTF’s would go a long way as well as that seems to cause nothing but CHAOS.
