Description

Drop your lagers and ales, it's time for some letterboxing!

The event will be held at Laguna Lake Park in Fullerton. There is an adjacent park where a series will also be located (probably). The food is pot luck style, so think things you get eat in a camp chair, which we recommend you bring or a blanket to sit out and enjoy the park. Clue packets will be available at 9 am with boxes created and planted just for the event.

Some history...

For over a decade (1920-1933), beer and alcohol were banned in the United States. This ban was set in place by the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. The 18th Amendment failed miserably. It was largely ignored. Millions of people turned to making their own bathtub beer and made alcohol in homemade stills. Bootleg beer and alcohol, much if which was smuggled in from Canada, caused the loss of millions of dollars in potential tax revenues.

The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment. It took effect at 12:01a.m on April 7, 1933. On the evening of April 6th, anxious Americans lined up at breweries and distilleries to purchase legal beer and alcohol at the stroke of midnight. That night, someone coined the term "New Beer's Eve", and a new annual holiday was born!

We hope you thoroughly enjoy New Beers' Eve.

Please do so responsibly. If you drink, don't drive.

Drop you lagers and ales, it’s letterboxing time.

I’ve added a map to the event album. Lee and I will be at the picnic tables just south of the lake on Lakeview Drive.

See you all there.
