From
teddy bears to athletic gear:
Participants in "Track Your Treats" event
are sure to win something!
If you want a sneak peek at the prizes you can win during
Saturday's "Track Your Treats" event, stop by the HFM BOCES
Career and Technical Center on Stoner Trail Road this Friday,
Oct. 28.
There you will see on display the wide variety of prizes -
including gift certificates to area restaurants, electronics
gear and more - that some lucky residents will win during this
fun family event.
The HFM BOCES NASA Geo-Spatial
Program is hosting this hi-tech, Track Your Treats
event on Saturday Oct. 29 from 2-4 p.m. on the
Fulton-Montgomery Community College Campus in Johnstown.
The event will showcase Global
Positioning System (GPS) technology and Geo-Caching,
with participants using GPS units to help track down
hidden treats by following clues and using GPS map
coordinates.
Because the GPS equipment is fairly advanced, it is
recommended that participants in the HFM "Track Your
Treats" event be at least 10 years of age. Parents are
welcome to accompany younger children and operate the
GPS unit for them.
Overviews of GPS units will be given throughout the
event. Prizes will be awarded, depending upon how many
lucky "cache" cards are retrieved during the treasure
hunt. All participants will receive random prizes that
range from gift certificates, CD players, and more
contributed by local business owners who hope to promote
health and wellness.
