WE FOUND IT – The Harrington Team was successful again this year locating the elusive 2011 Farm and City Days Medallion. The super sleuths, after carefully deciphering the third clue, found the prize under the back steps of Dad’s Good Stuff at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 30. Pictured are John, Jordan (holding medallion) and Kelli. They were rewarded with $50 in New Richland Bucks for their efforts. The team also located the medallion in 2010.

The Harrington family had a pretty good idea where the 2011 Farm and City Days Medallion was. In fact, they had the location narrowed down.

“The kids were on the computer last Wednesday morning,” said Kristi Harrington, Kelli and Jordan’s mother. “They were waiting for the third clue to be available at 10 a.m. Then they went and found the medallion.”

This year, the medallion was under the back steps near the alley of Dad’s Good Stuff on Broadway.

The fourth clue to treasure hunters, if needed, read:

“Some claim he has cornered the market on nice, 

Still a bargain’s a bargain, all for the right price.

But whether you seek this in person, by phone,

When it comes to the good stuff, one man stands alone.”

For their detective work, the Harringtons won $50 in New Richland Bucks and the chance to see if they can claim a “three peat” in 2012. This is the first time in recent memory the same individuals have found the medallion in successive years.

The Farm and City Days Medallion Hunt is the precursor to the festivities in New Richland, which have been traditionally held the weekend after July 4th.
