Since I've never been to an event, I would like to thank Trailfeathers for hosting BoxON! 2010. I enjoyed meeting everyone and I can't wait for next year. It was a blast!
Thanks for the fun Trailfeathers!

You are very welcome. It was nice to have so many letterboxers north of Hwy 7 - even if just for a day!

FANTASTIC event!
I had two of my kids with me, and it was so wonderful to see how kind everyone was to them. Thank you all for doing exchanges and PTs with Prop and Earth Diver. They felt very much embraced by the crowd.
A class act, Trailfeathers. Thank you. We'll be back to Orangeville to get all those boxes we missed today.

I agree totally with Fiddleheads. Our grandsons were welcomed and treated wonderfully by everyone and didn't want to leave . . . until we said we were going to find more boxes . . . LOL. It's nice to have an hobby like this that is so family-friendly in the truest sense.

Thanks from me as well! I had a fabulous time!
And thank you, everyone, for making me feel so welcome! I was a bit nervous as I knew absolutely no one, but everyone was so great and friendly! It was a pleasure to meet you all.

Now you've had a chance to meet some of your fellow ON letterboxers - and we've had a chance to meet you! We're so glad you could make it, and hope to see more of you at future events and things...!
Glad we had such a wonderful venue to do it in - thanks a ton, Carol - we know how hard it is to run one of these babies :)
Cheers, Jiggs

More thanks to Trailfeathers. The work you did was incredible. I can't even imagine trying to put together one of these. It must be overwhelming, and yet there it was, a bevy of boxes, an outstanding event stamp, gorgeous little hand bound clue books, etc..
Wow, wow, wow.
And I'm enjoying my wins too. ;-)

I would love to see one. Can someone post a photo?

P.S. Sorry I couldn't make it. Saw BBT's photos on her blog. What a turn-out. So many new faces. Nice to see this hobby is growing in Ontario.

I've got mine still. It was a simple bind, but fitting with the theme. The real treasure was how all the information inside was organised. We have to go back and get all the ones we missed after dashing to get home in time for Prop's kayak class.
I was thinking we should have a mid-winter mini-meet and carve in Guelph. I just have to find a place to do it. It was so great to be able to stamp up inside, out of the cold and wind.

My only regret about the indoor location was that it was downstairs. For a bunch of outdoorsy trail-loving folks, it was very far removed from daylight.
Considering it snowed all day in our area Sunday, I think anywhere indoor was a wise decision - but if I had one do-over, I would have chosen a location with windows.
And we would have had name tags on hand!
