The Event is on April 7! It is for kids mostly with parents help not experience orienteers, therefore, it shouldn’t conflict with  Washington Crossing! I am trying to get kids who never orienteer before to come and try FUN and REWARDING MAP reading exercise! I need some DVOA advertizment....for hopefully future orienteers...

It is on Facebook Also!

Fabulous Angelica.
This is exactly what the club needs.
Promotion of our sport to youngsters; and hopefully their parents at the same time !
Any date is always a good time.
Please post feedback on E-board after event.
This sounds like a fantastic idea to promote orienteering locally without having to travel to our
distant venues.
