7th Annual Western NY Event Updates!

Just some notes for everyone about the event:

• Lakeside Beach is a NYS state park, so unless you have the Empire Passport, the cost for entering the park is $6. This actually covers the cost to enter ANY park for that day ONLY, so keep the park stub. You can get the boxes located in Hamlin Beach as well, which isn't far from Lakeside.
• There's a ton of new boxers in the area that may know nothing of the gathering. If you've got newbies contacting you about boxes (or you've found THEIR boxes), be sure to tell them about the event so we can meet them!
• Camping is still available, as far as we know. If you want to stay for night boxing, you'll want to call the park ASAP to get your site. The Highlander and I, along with most of the other boxers, are in Loop D, so come visit! We also plan to have dinner at Brown's Berry Patch that night (before the night boxing), so you can join us there, too.
• For folks who've never done the Hallowed Grounds Tours, we are replacing as many of the boxes as we can this week before we get to the park. The 2007 Tour is the one that was in Orleans County, so we're hitting those first. We'll be able to let you know which ones are back at the main event table, so be sure to ask for clue updates.
• It looks like rain is forecast for the weekend, but most of the boxes are in the woods and we have a shelter. Be sure to wear a raincoat for the brief walks in the open!
• Our shelter has electricity, so if you wanted to bring potluck food that needs to stay warm, you can plug it in there.
• Finally, the boxes are listed on AQ, but the clues won't be listed on Wednesday. If you plan to come to the event, there will be 50 clue books available, no more. Come by at 10:30 and you should have no problem getting one of your own.

If you have more info you want to know, check the event page for the day & night for updates, as well as the event's official homepage. Or, just contact us through AQ or this blog. See you all soon!
