Clue 1 Each year, it begins the same.
We remind you how to play.
No digging, climbing, or swimming.
There. Now you’re on your way.
Celebrate on the fourth of July,
By proudly waving the flag.
But to learn the clue, pick only two hues,
Or up front you will start to lag.
Clue 2 X marks the spot
For you to pause and ponder.
If your mind is wide open,
You’ll know you need to wander.
Business association extraordinaire!

A strong foundation in the community,
A group effort that paves the way.
Clue 3 It’s only natural to solve the clues.
And we want you to find the prize.
So look for it a little beyond,
And it’s wearing a bit of a disguise.
If you’re a veteran of hunts,
Or just starting out,
To find the hidden medallion,
You simply need to seek it out.
Clue 4 No ransom to pay
To a road traveled less.
Pretty smooth sailing,
By where you end your quest.
It’s good to be constructive,
So don’t detour any more.
Living on a prayer used to work,
But now it’s another door.

I think I get the same thing outta the clues this year, just go look in a bunch of parks and hope you're lucky enough to be in the right one....
Unfortunatly this is a tough week for me...not sure I'll get out much :chagrin:
but then if you think about it it could be a park that the last name is that of 2 different guys!!! named Hue!!!
Tanners?

Like in the past few years?

Hill Murray = Green and Gold
Mounds Park Academy = Blue and White (not in Oakdale, I think)
sounds like "whey"...
Oakdale park by the old schoolhouse had potential to me. It's close to a fire station (fireworks), the old school house (learn), and a flagpole. How two colors works in though doesn't make much sense.
Still, I know in previous years I've been really wrong about interpretations on these clues. They actually seem more intent on throwing you off than giving you something you can use.
I'm hitting the sack, plan to be up early for the clue tomorrow and hopefully have an hour or two to search. Goodnight all.

ponder = pond
remember there stupid clue one year that meant the park was across the street from a local celebrity/mayor or something?
could this be near the home of one of the Business Associations head guys?
and paves = black top
Paved probably does though, most likely a paved trail, possibly where two meet (x marks the spot). Some of the trails at Oakdale Park have names, I wonder if there's a colored trail map in that park somewhere.... So far, that's where I'm guessing this year's will be at, Oakdale park.
I could be wrong though, I have been before, heh.
I like the Paws thing. They used something like that last year. They had the kennel by 694 and century.
Paves I thought was a trail (paved trail)
I'm not buying Tanners myself. If it's there, it's pretty lame that they'd put it back there so quickly.
Wide open space?
I like that a lot.
note: I posted properly "a lot" :wink:

Nobody else is out that I know of, unless Mikey or Mucluck is out there.
If it is there, I'd assume unless someone gets really lucky it'll go to another clue.
<edit> I see it was there in 2003
and path could be a skiing path?

In painting color theory, a hue refers to a pure color—one without tint or shade (added white or black pigment, respectively).[citation needed] A hue is an element of the color wheel.
