Speaking of recognition; What is the oldest active cache in SLAGA territory?

Seems weird replying to someone that lives in my house, but everyone else
would probably like to hear my opinions as well.
I like the idea, the rules, and the categories. Each of the awards, however,
are for individual caches. I propose the following award as well.
Best Series of Caches (ex. Subway Series, Faeried Fables)
Just like the others, you can only win the award once.
I think we should also have awards for cachers and/or teams:
Best Cache Placer
Best Overall Cacher
Obviously, there could be more categories.

Yes, I realize that food is a whole lot more important than creating
awards. I also expect people to think about this a little bit. I really was
trying to get the ear of our SLAGA officers and get their opinions on the
subject, as well as the general SLAGA membership. I am also out of town this
weekend without internet access until Sunday night. But, I thought I would
start a general discussion on the subject. I would think you could cast a vote
for any which were on the ballot, whether you found it or not. Personally, I
would only vote for the ones I visited (found or DNF...and maybe placed).
My thoughts about these awards (SLAGA Smiley Awards?):
1. All nominations must be for caches placed within the SLAGA territory.
They do not have to be newly placed caches...any cache is eligible.
2. Any registered member (contributing or standard) of SLAGA may vote for
one nominated cache in each of nine categories. (Categories are listed below.)
3. Nominations would be taken beginning with the Fall meeting/picnic (end
of September) and last for 6 weeks.
4. Voting would commence once the nominations are closed and the candidate
caches are published. Voting would be open for a period of 4 weeks.
5. Awards could be presented at a special meeting in January.
6. Caches will be eligible to be nominated and eligible to win in more than
one catergory. Once a cache has won a Smiley Award it will not be eligible to
be nominated in that catergory again. It would be eligible to be nominated in
catergories in which it has not won.
The categories will be: Traditional, Multi, and Puzzle/Mystery caches.
The awards in each category will be for: Most Creative, Most Difficult,
Best Liked.
This makes a total of nine (9) awards.
My thoughts on the subject. And yes, I realize that just by bringing up the
idea I probably would be tagged with organizing and running it. I might agree.

Don't be surprised if it takes a few hours to get more responses --
they're all eating right now you know and it takes a while for everything to
digest. But no, there aren't awards (but start the conversation and it's a darn
good way to get yourself set up to start the organizing of something heh-heh)
I think it sounds like a fun idea. For the last year we've really only
been able to cache as a way to get to know an area as we travel and I AM
influenced by logos, "awards" and other interesting things on a cache page. I
assume that if someone is taking that much care to promote their organization
then they've (hopefully) taken that much care with creating a cache. SLAGA
could keep a list on the website and also provide something for the owners to
put on their webpage. Could be fun
How did they decide who could vote on a cache? can you only vote on one
that you found? hunted and didn't find but logged a DNF? have heard about? etc?
We like details this group ..
