1998 Cooler Crew Button

Inaugural Cooler Crew button This image became the design for the first, and very hard to find, Cooler Crew Commemorative Button. Greg Sax designed it, and managed to get it available at the first Rehash Bash, all while he was living in Milwaukee and unable to attend the bash. His friends brought the buttons out to the park.

One decade ago, give or take about 5 days, on a cold day in February a few medallion hunters met out at Cherokee Park for the first time. Their hunt was over for the year, yet something didn't feel quite right about the situation. A lot of virtual friendships were made in what was then known as the Water Cooler on the Pioneer Press web site. Ten years ago, the Cooler Crew was born.

This year, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of that event, the very first Cooler Crew Rehash Bash. Come share your thoughts, frustrations, and noodles; commiserate with the other hunters who are sad to see the event come to an end for another year.

As with every Rehash Bash, this is a potluck affair. Bring a dish to share and something to drink (not an adult-type beverage, since the lodge prohibits alcohol), and prepare to have a good time.

Come celebrate 10 years with us! Everyone is welcome!

Even Hunter Fred.
