*About Our Event*
This is the first geocache event put on by Blossburg V.I.B.E. In conjunction with the Blossburg State Coal Festival that celebrates the coal heritage of our region, we are putting on this event to highlight some specific historic locations in our town. We have three geocache locations. Caches will be put out the morning of May 23, 2008. Each cache will contain general items, location history and several prizes for the first person who locates the cache. *General items contained within these caches:* (please do not remove these items from the site) Small notepad and pen for log (please write name, hometown & any other info so we know you were here!) Historical information packet Prize items: (you can take these - first come, first served - something you're not interested in? leave it for the next person!) EMPTY V.I.B.E. Water bottle (please DO NOT remove the bottle with the actual cache in it.) Wild Asaph Outfitters gift certificates, coupons and free rental tickets Angelina's Pizza gift certificates (PLEASE NOTE: Each cache contains a variety of prizes - may not contain all described above. IF you don't see any of these items when you reach the cache, that means someone else has already found them.)
