NB Winter Fest promises many exciting events and a medallion hunt
Posted: 1/17/06
North Branch Area Chamber would like to invite families and friends of all ages, to the 6th Annual Winter Fest Feb. 11 - 19. On Saturday, Feb. 11, kick off the Winter Fest activities hosted by the Chamber with the posting of another clue for the First National Bank and Investment CenterÂ’s of America, Inc.Â’s Medallion Hunt. Clues to the medallionÂ’s location can be found on the Chamber Web site, at button sale sites and in the local newspapers. With a registered button the medallion is worth $500.
Ongoing Snowflake Days events include the 2006 medallion hunt and a snow sculpture contest.
The medallion hunt will begin Friday, Feb. 3 and continue until the medallion is found. Clues will be posted at several local businesses with the prize awarded Saturday, Feb. 18 at a post-parade reception at the Coon Rapids VFW.
I guess I'm going to try more for the North St. Paul hunt, which I think is going on at the same time.
Oddly enough last year I bought the last one at a place for that hunt (guess that makes me the last button buyer for both roseville and north st. paul last year)... trying to remember the name of the place... Silver Lake Market?
Trouble with small town hunts, it's hard to find places that sell buttons, but if you're on to them early enough, usually they can be found at the local city hall.
I always forget about the city hall factor, until it comes to the smaller hunts... most of them, thats where you can get maps of the city as well as pick up clues, in some cases...
wonder if any place in north st. paul sells metal detectors? I've been considering buying one for a while, but don't really want to pay the $$$ they want for em.
I've been wanting to get one too. I saw something on one of the learning channels about finding treasure on the beaches in Florida. Real treasure, from sunken pirate ships. Everytime there is a storm, more gold gets washed up on shore. Not to mention all the money, watches, jewelry, etc. you can find. One guy found a Rolex. :cool:
This is somewhat on topic... speaking of things underground... I just heard in a movie that there are over 2 million people buried in a cemetery in Prague!!! OMG!!!!

the odds are way too bad on this. Might as well buy a lottery ticket. Biggest problem is if I even wanted to take a chance at it, I should probably already be in line...
Seems like the kind of publicity deal that all the stores pull the day after thanksgiving, and those crazed bargain hunters always have bought out while you're still in bed sleeping.

North Saint Paul's starts on Feb 6th.

when I'm at work...
make a few calls...etc...
North Saint Paul aint that big....
I'm sure I can find someplace that has them.
I'll get one on Tuesday, as pizza is cheaper then, and it's good pizza.
I bet no one even knew Oakdale had a button (not that it has any effect on the prize value), but I got one.
I know i would have kept that Rosemount one, had I come accross that one.
I expect if I find the thing, I'll be eating well for quite some time...
that is true...
they got good grub there...
It would be cool if Target honored them...
I'd probably use the full $500 on something in the electronics section, like 10 minutes after I got it.
Im curious as to the detector you finally get- Ive been looking at those as long as gps'
And I'd be happy to pick you up a button, least I can do for that 98 and the 06 hunter button ya gave me.
have you read the TREE guide yet- I slipped in a sheet about trees at Como :wink:
JT listed it on ebay...and he didn't get a researve....
he didn't relist it.....
I'm a little ticked off in the process....
but I'm going to make him move it along....
Some of these guys estimate that they have found tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff.
huh??? ...gotta search chanhassen stuff today...hope this isn't a goose chase.
