The following information is in the Fair Play cache (GC14AEF) that should be posted within a day or 2. It took quite a bit of negotiating and discussion with Groundspeak and the Alaska State Fair to create these games and to 'promote' them through a permanent non-commercial cache. Since everything is now approved, I can now post this information in the forums. Spread the word. Cache on.
BTW, special apologies to Mrs. SantaBro. I can't help myself.
Fair Play by Nate grumby and The Mrs., Homunculus, Yami Tatsu, and Ki-La-La
For those of us (perhaps 650,000 each year) who wish to enter the Alaska State Fair (August 23 to September 3) we have set up some geocaching games and challenges! Thanks to the Alaska State Fair for granting permission to place these caches on their grounds. Fair admission is required to enter the Alaska State Fair, but think of the food, games, the midway, giant cabbages, pony rides, the art exhibits, shopping, and now geocaching that we can all have fun doing!
The geocaching games that we have designed on the grounds of the Alaska State Fair include:
Ki-La-La's "Puzzling Caches"
A series of virtual caches where you have to find where Ki-La-La is and log the coordinates via Geocaching.com to Nate Grumby to verify your finds!
Homunculus's "Knights of Ni Shrubbery Challenge"
A multi-cache chase through the various gardens on the fair grounds, leading to a cache large enough for trade items and prizes!
Yami-Tatsu's "I AM NINJA" Caches
A collection of micro-caches hidden in plain sight. Can you retrieve a cache without being seen while tens of thousands of people walk past you? Test your Ninja skills!
So What Are The Coordinates To These Hidden Caches?
As some of you may realize, Nate Grumby is an individual with a weird sense of humor. So he, with the help (and restraint) of The Mrs., has hidden the location to these various fair caches within the actual exhibits at Irwin Hall. Look for crafts, photos, paintings, and sculpture that have the coordinates embedded or displayed within them.
Please log your comments, photos, and other observations online on geocaching.com at the Fair Play (GC14AEF) cache.

Awesome, I will be out there for a few days working as a medic before I fly out of country, so now I cam combine two of my hobbies and hopefully get some new cachers going.

We are leaving for a wedding in Texas a few hours before the fair opens, and returning a few hours after it ends... I was bummed about missing it, now I'm REALLY bummed!

I think a few of us are interested in meeting up for a Fair cache day. You can see the other thread on this. How can we get coordinates?
