It was time to break free from the cabin fever here in St.Louis, and the SLAGA Winter Potluck 2025 Event was the ticket out! Over 80 geocachers met at the Pavilion at Lemay facility in Jefferson Barracks park on January 25, 2025.
This highlight event was hosted by LFrank and Denmother, with the help of many volunteers. Set-up/Clean-up crew included Mixed Breed, SWAseeker, arabbit&ubuck, Repmul, and spiritwolf922. The potluck food organizers were MrsSpongy, jray131 and Stormrider. At the registration/GeoBingo table were How-D and magpie, alongside nan-d1955 and GeoKid12 performing their board officer duties. The Trackable table was overseen by stargazer61, and raffle tickets were sold by Loonwoman and Bluedaisey. The efforts of ibew ret proved advantageous for 50/50 ticket sales as the winning purse amounted to $125.
During the event, geocachers always enjoy each others' company and share caching stories, but could also play games (GeoBingo and 50/50), participate in the raffle, visit and exchange trackables, and munch down on gobs of delicious food as well! Each family brought a shared dish to help feed the group, including chicken, sliders, dollar sandwiches, mostaccioli, pasta and other casseroles, salads, vegetables, fruit, breads, soups, desserts and more! No one in attendance went hunger at this enormous potluck spread!
After lunch and the group photo, SLAGA president (cootie_man) spoke, and VP GeoKid12 presented a 1000 Finds milestone award to a solo recipient. The winners of the 9-month long trackable race (managed by HobbitTaz) were announced, as well as the drawing winners for GeoBingo and 50/50. Gift card prizes were given to all winners. Then the raffle drawings took place with many happy cachers receiving their desired gifts.
