Event
Director – Mike Minium
Thanks to all volunteers who helped with
this event especially Guy Olsen (Registration), Lisa Goecke (Check-in and sign pickup), Amy Lamborg, Jasper Ralinovsky, Rex Settlemoir (Photos, Clean-up, and Control pickup). Thanks to Liberty Town Council for approving
the event; Union County Foundation for assistance with historical materials,
and various Union County Orienteers for allowing your yards to be used as
control sites.
30 questions. 2 hours.
A map with 30 circles marking locations throughout the town of Liberty. The stage was set and the weather was
gorgeous. Temperatures started out just
a little on the crisp side for Memorial Day, but mostly sunny skies made it
pleasant for running. Young and old,
families and solos, they scattered throughout the town. All survived, all returned safely, and there
were smiles all around as points were added, scores calculated, and medals
awarded.
Most of the controls required answering a
question about the location, usually readily visible at that point. In keeping with the Memorial Day timing of
the event, orienteers visited the graves of two Veterans, the VFW and American
Legion, and a memorial in front of the Fire and Police Station. There were also 8 temporary “historic
markers” placed around town, mostly in the front yards of Union County HS and
MS orienteering team members. This
allowed for interesting historical trivia questions to be placed in the
residential parts of town, even though the events described did not always
happen precisely at that location. One
local asked if the markers were going to remain for Liberty’s Bicentennial
celebration this summer, and perhaps some of them will return in more permanent
form, as several of them were originally designed by Union County Foundation with
the intent of being placed around the courthouse square in 2019, but town budget
and site constraint issues intervened.
There were 30 controls worth 10 points
each, so 300 points were possible.
Theresa and Jared Grissom were given one extra point for graciously
pointing out a spelling error in one of the questions. There was a penalty of 10 points per minute
for exceeding 2 hours, and only Amy Lamborg lost points
due to tardiness.
