Clues Released For St. Paul Winter Carnival's Medallion Hunters
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Treasure hunters are now out in full force looking for a hidden medallion, as part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival's annual Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt.
The St. Paul Winter Carnival officially begins this Thursday, but already a few clues have been released to those hoping to score big.
The medallion is worth up to $10,000, depending on whether you have the published daily clues, a registered Winter Carnival button and have already mailed in an official entry form.
Hunters should be aware that the medallion is hidden on public land in Ramsey County. That means you won't find it at the Capitol, the Como Zoo, under any skating surfaces, golf courses, or other places like that.
The first clue was:
"Last year's rich bounty was found in the county
A new park for all to explore
This year's bauble will cause you no trouble
If the rules are kept in the fore."
And here's the second clue:
"Some may well kvetch that the horizon's sketch
Has artifacts rather than trees
But if you follow the plan pure gold you will pan
And life will be but a breeze"
Last year's medallion was found at Snail Lake Regional Park in Shoreview.
