Fourth and final clue:

I am independent 

And gave u my word

I didn't quit 

After the third


The third clue:

I'm getting older 

And got off track

But laziness 

Is something I lack


The second clue:

In a crowd full of people

I always shine

One of my hobbies

Is to make things rhyme


The first clue:

It's time to play Frosty!

So guess if you dare

I once was a packer

And have been dunked at the fair

The hunt is underway for the Waseca Sleigh and Cutter Medallion, and the prize is big. The lucky finder will receive gift certificates valued at $1,250. The Medallion is hidden on public property within the city limits of Waseca. If found, the Medallion should be turned in at Charlie’s Hardware in Waseca.

It’s the fourth and last week of clues! The Medallion MUST be found soon! Where are Jesse and his older brother now? What exploits might they be up to? Let’s close in on them!

Medallion Clues for week 4

1. They avoided the fields too exposed
Their water hole must be enclosed
Sought out the tall brush
Where the grasses were lush
Where was this home base that they chose?

2. Though the pond may have surely been dry
A hydration source was nearby
A welcome relief
For a scoundrel and thief
But the levels may not have been high

3. The medallion’s still missing, it’s true
But we’ve given you plenty of clues
So spin round and round
And close to the ground 
You just might discover a slough

4. For all of you number fanatics
Who prefer working with mathematics
Stand west just so
At two four oh oh 
Face the stop sign with compass static
5. To the north, three fifty six
East, ninety eight degrees fix
Where they intersect
Try to collect
Way down deep in the sticks

6. We hope that you’re finding success
Following Frank and Jess
From place to place
On a wild goose chase
And the coin you’ll soon possess!
