This weekend was GIFF weekend (Geocaching International Film Festival), and like many people, I hosted an event to take part.
I decided to try out a new venue: the community room at a local grocery store. It worked well, so I'll probably use it again
in the future. 36 people came (not including myself), and though we ran out of chairs, most people were able to sit and everyone
could see the screen (I hope).

Two attendees donated door prizes to go with the ones provided by I.B. Geocaching Supplies, and there were also event buttons
for people to take and a special laser etched wooden nickel for the winner of the FTF draw.

As part of our celebration of GIFF weekend I took time to add the logbook creator from our old site to the new site
here at ibgeocaching.com and a special
template for GIFF events was created and made available to event hosts.
Now I'm wondering if I should submit a video to the festival next year....
