      Is anyone planning a GIFF event in Wisconsin? I’m thinking of having one, but don’t want to crowd anyone else out. Also not sure how soon that would have to be submitted to get approval, aside from the normal 2 weeks for an event.

      All opinions, comments, and useless drivel I post are mine alone and do not reflect the opinions of the WGA BOD.

        I had seen that no souvenir was being offered, but just read somewhere else a little while ago that there will be one. It would be fun to host one, but I don’t think we can easily find the right venue. Not sure what our church’s policies on this kind of thing might be. If you do host one, be sure to let us all know….you aren’t all that far from us!

          GIFF= Geocaching International Film Festival. Apparently hosts can get access to a bunch of flicks with a geocaching theme and share them at these events.

            Souvenir was announced on October 6. Submit events to be published as normal; once published, then apply to be GIFF site. One-hour reel of 16 mini-movie finalists submitted to GC from cachers about geocaching. Approved GC events that meet the requirements will get the OK to show the movies and be an official GIFF event for the souvenir.

              A little research and I found that the application to be an official GIFF event is due by Oct 19, so I have a little time to make a decision. So my next question, are there people that are interested? (Besides Trekkin and Birdin)

                I wouldn’t mind attending, depending on the date and time. Location is no problem as long as it’s not after dark or snowing.

                I was planning on driving to the Cities to go to the one hosted by the vlogger.

                Just submitted mine yesterday after checking with the owner of the company I look for. I too was planning on going to the Vlogger’s event but after looking at the map and seeing far and few are being hosted thought I’d put one on since I have access to a facility.

                Waiting for permission but look for another GIFF on Sunday, Nov 8th at Horicon Educational Center.

                  I am unclear about what we would be viewing.  Would I be seeing the same movie if I went to both the Mead event and the Horicon event?

                      One was just published in Green Bay for November 7th.  Not mine, but I thought I would still advertise it here:  GC65C86

                      I’m glad you posted this because I saw it just in time for it to make the newsletter.  Thanks!
