Join Clayton County's geocaching adventure this holiday season
when the Clayton County Convention & Visitors Bureau launches
"Cache for Cash" on Friday, Nov. 25.
"Cache for Cash" invites adventurers to seek and find special
tickets hidden within select Clayton County geocaching sites for an opportunity to win
cash and prizes. Tickets can be found by geocachers beginning on
Black Friday, Friday, Nov. 25, and must be redeemed by 5 p.m. on
Wednesday, Dec. 14 at the Jonesboro Welcome Center (104 North Main
Street, Jonesboro, Ga. 30236). While not all of the caches will
have the special tickets, those who find and redeem tickets will be
entered into a drawing for one of three prize packages valued at
$350 each. The prize pack will include $100 cash, a one night stay
at the Clarion Hotel, admission for four to Stately Oaks Plantation
and a family four pack of tickets to the Southern Belles &
Whistles Historic Bus Tour and Road To Tara Museum.
Adventurers may register one time per geocaching site for the
entirety of the promotion. Participants must be 18 years or older
to enter the drawing and must present valid identification upon
ticket submission at the Jonesboro Welcome Center. The Jonesboro
Welcome Center is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until
5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The drawing
will take place on Thursday, Dec. 15 and winners will be notified
by phone.
Geocaching is a world-wide treasure hunting adventure which uses
GPS technology and a series of predetermined coordinates to direct
"cachers" to hidden boxes known as "caches." A perfect activity for
families or small groups, Clayton County's geocaching sites vary
from easy to moderate difficulty to accommodate large groups.
Originally consisting of one series of nine caches, Clayton
County's geocaching program will introduce a second series
consisting of three new cache sites for the launch of "Cache for
Cash."
