Although the 2011 hunt has come to a close all too soon, the 2011 Rehash Bash has been confirmed. Come join us in our annual picnic as we commisserate the finding of the medallion. Once again we will be in the building at Newell Park from 11:30am to 2:30pm, Sunday, February 6, 2011. As always its a potluck, so bring a dish to share! There is a cost to rent the facility, so donations to cover that cost will be accepted. Since the Super Bowl is later on in the day, this shouldn't pose a problem for anyone's parties.

In addition, from Allison Wonderland,

There was something distinctly unsatisfying with this hunt in the end. Consequently we're going to do something a bit different with the Mock Hunt this year. Instead of doing it a month later, we're going to kick it off at the Rehash Bash next Sunday the 6th. The first clue will come out at the event. After that the clues will come out at 7pm. There will be one per day. They will be posted here, on the CC board, and on the PP board. It will be in a park in St. Paul. There are two ways to participate. One, you can be a registered hunter for $10. If you win, you get all the money collected or $200, whichever is more. Two, you can be an unregistered hunter for free. If you are unregistered and you win, you get a flat $100 and the rest of the money will go towards another contest.

If you're not planning to be at the Rehash Bash, you can still register by sending me the money via Paypal to this email address or send me an email and I'll give you an address to send the check to.

I expect we'll get a big turnout this year so there should be some good competition.
