Feature Friday: Ohio GeoClash & Festival

Feature Friday: Ohio GeoClash & Festival
June 02, 2023

Happy Feature Friday, where every Friday the Chamber team will highlight one of our fantastic members by repping them for the day and telling the community more about them. This week's Feature Friday is: Ohio GeoClash & Festival! 

The Ohio GeoClash & Festival is an annual event put on by the Ohio Geocaching Association in partnership with local communities throughout the state. The Ohio Geocaching Association is a non-profit member-led organization created for the sole purpose of promoting the game of geocaching within the State of Ohio and beyond. Their mission is to enrich the experiences of all geocachers by creating unique geocaching opportunities, events, trails and tours, and activities. They accomplish this by leveraging their core values of making the game of geocaching accessible to everyone, and promoting positive land stewardship throughout the state.

Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunt that uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) and online clues to help participants find caches, or hidden containers. Seneca County was put on the geocaching map when the first ever geocaching trail in Northwest Ohio was launched. The Seneca County Geo Trail received more than 200 completes and had more than 20,000 miles traveled by cachers to participate in the fun. Destination Seneca County and the whole community is so excited to have cachers in town to explore everything there is to do while finding the geocaches all throughout the county! 

Historically, the Ohio Geoclash & Festival draws in more than 500 geocachers into the host community throughout the week. The 2023 Ohio GeoClash & Festival is taking place this week and weekend! Starting on Wednesday evening, cachers have been coming into town for events, get togethers, and to find caches. Saturday, June 3, is known as "The Main Event," where the region winner will be announced, prizes given away, and a final gathering to celebrate the hobby and the community.

Please be aware that the increase in geocachers to the area may result in result in more geocachers than normal being spotted around the area finding geocache locations. Although geocaching is a harmless, family-friendly activity, occasionally, this may result in additional concerns of ‘suspicious’ activity from those that may not be familiar with what the geocaching game entails. You can find the full schedule of events for the remainder of the weekend here and learn more about the Ohio Geocaching Association and other upcoming activities at ohgeo.org. With running both the Chamber and Destination Seneca County, our team loves seeing tourism and commerce come together for awesome events such as this. Thank you to all who have made this event possible and for the support from local businesses, residents, and beyond!
