A Letterboxer’s County Fair

Plans are coming along nicely for the MI Fall Gathering. The location has been finalized and this year we will be back at Pigeon Creek County Park in West Olive, MI. I was a little hesitant about going back to the same place another year, but it’s hard to beat the great enclosed lodge and wonderful trails. But just because this year’s event is in the same location as last year’s event, don’t think it will be the same ‘ol thing!

The year’s event theme is “A County Fair” and it promises to provide lots of old-fashioned family fun with themed boxes, food and activities. In addition to purchasing clues with tickets, attendees will have the option of participating in a variation on the cakewalk game, a traditional carnival favorite.

Although we are working hard to develop the carnival theme and atmosphere, in keeping with the tradition of the MI Fall Gathering, the day will be for the most part unstructured. With the exception of an early-morning group activity and the noon potluck, the rest of the day is open, leaving plenty of time for exchanges, socializing and hitting the trails in search of the event boxes.
