Locations of some activities are still TBD and all scheduled events should be considered tentative at this point. Misc Activities - GPS Unit Giveaway - We're doing it again! Not quite as many, but we still plan on giving away 10 or more GPS units throughout the event. Be present at events and participate to win!
- Treasure Hunt (tentative) - On Saturday try your hand at skerrin' up some really cool swag in our on-venue treasure hunt. Every trip into the treasure field guarantees a great prize.
- Campsite Decoration Contest - Love to camp? Want to win some cool stuff? Then deck out your campsite. Preference is given to thematic campsites (casino / eagle) but dress your site to impress. All of last year's winners won free camping in 2010 and the top three sites won a GPS Unit!
