Oh, but was Ron there in spirit. He sent along a very special prize for our the contest traditonal. He had create a set of 10 boxes that were not yet posted on the Web. The winner would get a one-month lead on finding them.
And who better to win than Jenny Sennot!. JennyJ was the first letterboxer in the Columbia area and continues to be the creator of many of our best boxes.
Or contest was to create some item to stock a special box for children. Small stamps were glued to a child's block. Jenny, Mamaroots and Fox-fyr all carved outstanding stamps and Marie Haskins created a delightful log book. Sandy, Diane, Lorilee and Lucas all contributed goodies for first finders.
Clyde and Cecile will assemble the parts into one or more boxes to be hidden at a site determined later.
