My family will be spending several days next week at the fair for various 4-H activities but the one we're really excited about this year is the geocaching. On Tuesday the kid's club is hiding several geocaches around the fairgrounds. Mark your calendars for this one:

Geocaching
Tuesday, Sept. 26
4-6 p.m.
Cumberland County Fairgrounds
Pick up coordinates at the 4-H Hall

Anyone can pick up coordinates at the 4-H Exhibit Hall from 4-6 p.m. (but, the caches will only be available during that time on Tuesday).

For those who don't have a GPS unit, a 4-Her will be available to take you on a "tour" (with one of several GPS units loaned to us for the day by the Cumberland County Extension Office) to find the caches and show you how geocaching is done.

This is a good opportunity for kids - and their parents - to give the high-tech treasure hunting game a try. It's a lot of fun.

See you at the fair.
