Rehash Bash

15th Annual Rehash Bash 
Potluck 
Sunday, February 5, 2012 
Lake Johanna - Lakeside Pavilion 
11:30 am

Its hard to believe this is the 15th year of doing this. So, after several eyars of being inside due to the cold (and being unable to get the pavilion at Newell like we wanted due to time), we're returnign to our roots and having a February picnic outdoors due to the weather! We're taking over the lakeside pavilion at Tony Schmidt park.

The lakeside pavilion will make it easier for those bringing grills, stoves and generators. There is no electricity onsite. We have been asked to carry out any trash if there are no trash cans available.

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.

The 13th Annual Rehash Bash will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at Newell Park, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. As always, its a potluck, and since we've got the building, there will be plenty of power indoors for crock pots. Donations will be accepted to cover the $136 cost for renting the facility. MrMnMikey has some door prizes available. Since this isn't Super Bowl Sunday this year, if people want to stick around past the 2:30 closing time, we can start a fire in one of the fire rings.

In addition, many of us long-time Coolerheads are loyal servants of Vulcanus Rex. Join us for the Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade, followed by the Vulcan Victory Dance. Information on the Parade Route is from the 2006 Vulcan Krewe. The best places for viewing the parade are going to be at the end of the parade route, as His Majesty, Vulcanus Rex LXXIII, the true King of the Winter Carnival, overthrows that other guy on the steps of the St. Paul Central Library, across from Rice Park

In the grand tradition of the Cooler Crew, it is our great pleasure to announce the 12th Annual Cooler Crew Rehash Bash. Once again it will take place at AW's Mason Lodge, as the pic-a-nic facilities at Swede Hollow are minimal to say the least. Kitch will be crowned the winner of the annual park pool.

Bring a dish to share and eating utensils. There will be power there, so you can keep your warm food warm. Remember, alcohol is forbidden at the lodge.

Also, to help defray the cost of the $75 lodge rental fee, there will be a collection jar present.

Location: Como Park Mason Lodge (Thanks again for this one, AW!)

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.

The 10th Annual Rehash Bash is going to take place this Sunday,
February 4th starting at noon. Traditionally this has been a picnic in
the park the medallion was found in. However, because of the extreme
cold expected that day, we have decided instead to move it indoors.
That way we can enjoy each other's company and the pleasures of the
potluck for a lot longer and without having to suffer frostbite. So
bring the kids, bring something for the potluck, and bring your
treasure hunting memories.

We'll be meeting at the Como Park Mason Lodge at 1044 Front St. in St.
Paul. That's just one block east of Lexington and just south of Como
Park (between Gabe's by the Park and Half Time Rec). Everyone is
welcome. We'll be meeting in the basement where there is a full
kitchen available. And then for anyone that wants to stick around,
we'll have the Superbowl showing at 5pm on a giant screen TV.

Battle Creek Picnic Pavillion -- Note location change due to lack of seating

The hunt's over, the puck's been found. And it wasn't one of us. Yet, it takes a group of crazy people to have a picnic in the middle of the winter. But, this is Minnesota, we are such a crazy group of people, and there will be a winter picnic. Bring your picnic gear, something to share, and your hunt tales to commiserate with the rest of the hunters who weren't so lucky. And hey, the finders may even stop by to show us where it was hidden.

Crosby Farm Nature Area
At the Picnic Shelter

Come rehash the clues, hear the stories and the theories, commiserate with others and maybe get to meet the finder(s)! Bring a dish to share, eating utensils and plates, a lawn chair if you'd like and picnic in the park! It has been confirmed by several folks that power is available there, so crock pots are usable.
