Abbotsford Cito event

Well it went off without a hitch. The weather was perfect as there was a nice breeze and just enough cloud cover so the sun didn't burn a hole through us. There were about a dozen cachers who came out to attend my very first Cito event (Cache in trash out) and helped clean up the park around Albert dyke lake. My hidden prize containers where a hit and the kids had a blast running around all over the park. Best Red (Dustanne) and I each hid a brand new geocache in the park which was a bonus for those who came out. The kids hard hats donated by Lafarge were fun as even a few of the adults where wearing them for kicks.

The same morning before my Cito there was a Flashmob event being held at another park close by so we got up early to attend that one before heading over to the lake. What's a Flashmob you ask? It's a quick 15 minute event where a spot outside is chosen as ground zero, then a mass group converges to it at a designated time. Once gathered we do a few quick activities, draw for some prizes, and sign a log book. Then exactly 15 minutes later we all dispearse leaving the area empty again. In and out like a flash if you will.

Looking back I can definitely say it was a busy weekend with all the preperation that was involved and of coarse the event itself seemed to fly by. With that said I still am glad we did it and will be looking forward to attending or perhalps organizing another one next year.
