Like Messi kicking a game winning goal,
Take a chance & search while out on a stroll.

Clue #8 — Friday, February 7
Does St. Peter have studios like 54? (There’s a Nicollet Lodge #54 sign close by the medallion hiding spot)

An edge of a river can get you some help. (River’s Edge Hospital)

Although the medallion is still above ground
It had to be buried in whatever could be found
What you’ll find is worth much more than a $2 bill
Find the medallion and you will get a big thrill
What would have been Clue #8 – Friday, February 2nd
There was a runner on 3rd with lefty at the plate
The stars had aligned and it just seemed like fate
With a mighty swing and a sweet crack of the bat
The ball soared over the fence and landed with a splat
It was hit so hard I could hear the other players chat
That the ball travelled 3/5 of a mile in 10 seconds flat
Clue #7 – Thursday, February 1st (the medallion was found after this one)
Each of the clues has words that are hidden keys

It’s no secret that he will try to lead you astray

You will find the puck way out there in it’s place
Clue #3 – Sunday, January 28th
Our recent deep freeze has caused some to say
They just want to go on a vacation far away
But this winter is not something you should dread
As our forecast now shows warmer days ahead
So get yourself out there and search for the prize
I believe that walking is the best form of exercise
Clue #2 – Saturday, January 27th
Through the years the rapscallion has had so much fun
Trying to stay one step ahead by using a rhyming pun

It might be a long shot to locate the medallion today
But read between the lines and you may find it someday
January 26, 2024 — Clue #1 – Friday, January 26th
Twenty years of the medallion hunt seem to have gone by quite fast
We’ve been to parks like Warren, Jefferson, Levee and McGill in the past

Did I go somewhere new or just visit one of the old parks again?
Take your best shot and let all the clues be your guide
You’ll find your target if you don’t throw any of them aside
