I'm Still Not Convinced That Conway Is A Park.......Although I Do Like The Conway Twitty And Tim Conway Idea!

We were at the ball field on the corner of Ruth and Conway Street (ball field #4, right down the 3rd base line). FYI - there was a lady standing right next to the

Channel 5 news crew with a little boy and they looked kind of weird too.

Hello! Thought I'd check in after work and see what's new. Not much, huh? Everyone knows it's at Conway and no one's found it yet. I haven't even had a chance

to get out there yet. Think tonight's clue will be more specific on a location within the park?

Jodi, I hope you're right.

If it stays as warm as it did last night, mother nature will probably help someone out. I would actually appreciate a huge freeze right about now so the slushy snow

ends up frozen solid!

To all the rest of you who are at work like me, I should just leave and go out there because I am certainly not getting anything accomplished here!

What was up with the message that was on here yesterday that the medallion had been found. That's the only reason I didn't go back out last night.

Incase you were wondering, Conway Heights Park used to be the OLD name for the park, and there used to be an old rec center there that was torn down.

Hello, CA transplant! How long have you been here? Were my family to find the medallion, we'd be on our way to CA! (Just to visit, of course).

JODI K: BELIEVE IT, CONWAY IS A PARK. IN THE OLD DAYS WE WOULD HAVE CALLED IT A PLAYGROUND. NOW IT'S A RECREATION

CENTER, AKA, A PARK.

Medallion Seeker, be careful about where you get your info or maybe you just misread. You can always find out by calling 651.228.5464.

I considered that and from where I was standing there was a tree in the way of the second peak so I could only see one. Places could also mean things couldn't it?

Like maybe two alike things in the playground or something like that?

Hi Dreamin' - I've been here since June. I love it. Happy to be out of the rat race in Cali.

My only guess on the 594 thing is, highway five is north of the park, highway 94 is south, I think they used that to narrow down the location of the

park..........................

I caught that message too yesterday, just some idiot pulling a hoax, that happens A LOT on this thing, so don't believe anyone until you call the Press!

Thanks, M.K. Yes, we're dying for a real vacation for a change. I have a sister in San Diego, and we want to take the kids to Disneyland. Guess the only way I'll get

it is to get off this computer and do my taxes so I can get that refund!

Medallion Seeker, the message yesterday that it had been found was a crock. Someone figured out how to check the person's e-mail and the addresss said "hot

mail", so obviously it was a hoax. Also, some jerk was driving around Conway waving something and saying he found it and convinced a bunch of people.

To find out if the medallion has been found call (651) 228-5464, don't trust any other source except maybe the wintercarnival homepage

The only thing I have to say, is it's at Conway in some crazy obscure place that the clue will reveal tonight or God forbid Thursday if it takes 2 more days!

the way todays comminucations are they would have it updated within minutes of it being found

thanks for the update Jeff, I anxiously await to go out after work amd when I hear all the action taken place where I have been digging for days, I get nervous and

think it's been found

Grandma Honeybearrr - hit "previous" at the top. Everyone has been talking about Channel 5 being there, and how many people are there. It sounds like insanity.

But of course, I can't go until after work. Next Year I am taking these two weeks off and looking for the dumb thing while eveyone is at work : ) sorry you are

babysitting tho - that has to be tuff. I figure I will read about someone finding it about a half hour before I can get there this afternoon.

Has anyone been to conway lately? How dug up is it? I was there yesterday afternoo and thought it was quite dug up, however I'm not sure who was doing the

digging because everyone I seen was standing around with a blank look on there face. (can't blame them)
