It is too late to set up an event cache for this one but maybe sometime in the 
future when we can give Glenn a bit more notice....I just want to meet a few 
cachers and eat and cache :)

You could do something like this event. Heck you could even use a similar 
name.. "North County's Most Remote Even Cache" since it's going to be in 
South County.

Maybe you could send an email to the cache reviewer and ask if there's a 
time limit. If the purpose of the dinner is to get everyone together to sit 
around and talk about caching; or maybe even talk about the upcoming picnic 
and maybe make a plan to put a cache out for it, and say this event lasts 
for 2 hours or so, is that long event to warrant an event page. THEN if a 
hunt breaks out are you in the clear?

I recently saw an event page where the event was everyone making caches. One 
stage was painting; one stage was painting, one stage was "Stuffing."
