We are planning to create a SWAG (stuff we all get) location cache at a conference we attend in the near future, you can hear our epiphany about SWAG geocaches in this week’s (Epi 148) events corner. The point is to give folks the chance to have some fun in addition to getting free stuff. So this isn’t so much about the traditional switching out tidbits when you find the cache, instead it is about getting something free and cool(ish). If you have any ideas beyond the base idea, please share. The biggest multiple option issues for me are 1) how to convey location (I’m thinking hints or treasure map instead of indoor location tech) and 2) how to not raise the ire of the facility security (beyond confirming it is ok with the conference organizers).
PS if you would like to donate some cool SWAG to the goal please contact us

Hello, we are looking for donations for our up coming event.†The Only Town in Pennsylvania” Here is the waypoint GC1CD0R. We have posted this event locally to gather some new faces to the sport of geocaching and look to have a great turnout. We are hoping to get 500 people, but are counting on 300. I only ask with anything that you donate please send along a sign so we can place the donations with the sign, to help advertise for you. I will also add you to the geocaching listing as a sponsor. Thank you very much. I hope we can count on you to help. Please send the most generous gift you can, as soon as possible.
With grateful appreciation,
