Re: Will anybody attend a Van Wert pathtag/sig item swap mee
There was a geo-meeting in Van Wert in November 2007 (GC16YP9). It had lots of people show up. The attraction, other than meeting lots of cachers, was that it was held in a sports bar in VW. We all had a lot of fun. Weenee even got his pic taken with a guy in a weenie suit, it was hilarious.
Make it a "regular" local event, pick the right place, and it should work. The pathtag/sig item swap could be an offshoot to the regular meeting.
The sports bar thing might be off-limits to you, not sure. Maybe there is another venue. And do it after Labor Day, most folks are back from vacations by then.

ok THANKS grizz. Yah i dont think they want a kid under 16 in s sports bar with a lot of adults! lol. So are you suggesting like a once a month event? And are trying to say that it should just be a regular meeting but have a seperate table for people to do some swapping when they want then return to the meeting?

There is a meet & eat at Schlotzsky’s Deli in maumee and Panera Bread in Findlay There a is separate table where trackables are discovered and traded etc. Perhaps a local restaurant would be willing.
If there is interest start with a single event and see how it goes.

I just counted logs for the 2007 M&E in Van Wert, and it looks like about 18 people attended. One of the group pictures in the logs, seems to confirm that number too. (Any log entry that mentioned "we", I counted as two people.)
So I think the question is answered, that people will definitely attend. And given that the last even was two years, ago, I suspect even more people would show this time.
So, with the question of whether people will attend, answered, I am closing this topic and refer everyone to the new topic covering Keger8's request for location suggestions and other ideas.
