SLAGA Spring Picnic - April 26th, 2025.

This year's Spring picnic was hosted by the Arnold City Mayor and Slaga's own BnD Moritz!  Bill (and Deb) chose a large pavilion at Arnold City Park that had a beautiful view of the lake down the hill, and was conveniently positioned next to a fabulous playground.  More than 40 members and four furry muggles joined in the fun, festivities and fabulous food. 

The picnic was full of activities. Cachers could play Geo-Bingo and the Closest-to-the-Pin games.  There was also a premium member drawing, silent raffle with nice prizes, a 50/50 raffle, and a trackable table for dropping or retrieving travel bugs. SLAGA board members and volunteers were kept busy at this picnic. Secretary Treasure Isle worked the combination registration/lunch fee/game table up front, while VP GeoKid12 sold SLAGA shirts and travel bugs, as well as announced the current milestone winners.  Volunteer Hobbit Taz collected and logged trackables for the upcoming SLAGA Travel Bug Race, and President cootie-man made announcements and called out the winners of various activites. Many thanks to the other volunteers, including those that helped with set-up, clean-up, raffles and games, as well as to all who provided delicious potluck dishes to share.  A special kudos to turleladi1020nhubbs for their grilling efforts, and to Strider for running the Closest-to-the-Pin game.

This well organized picnic and gorgeous spring day and venue made it easy for everyone in attendance to have a fantastic time.  Cachers shared stories during the event and many sought nearby geocaches in the park for extra smilies.  Some even enjoyed the local farmer's market held in the front of the park.  With so many helpful volunteers, Bill and Deb put on a terrific SLAGA Spring Picnic! 

For those that couldn't make it, you definitely missed out on a good time.  Our caching community not only shares the enjoyment of the game, but also the company of one another, so please consider joining the SLAGA family at the next event.  You'll get more than a smiley out of it, that's for sure :).
