I had the same thought about the medallion possibly being wrapped in gold foil or some such thing, but even if it were, so what? Not like I'm going to ignore things of other colors.
The 50 anniversary is the golden one, however, this isn't really the 50th anniversary, its the 50th hunt, and if you take green's point into consideration, this is actually the 51st hunt (but its still the 50th year of hunting).
And if anyone is still confused. The first hunt was in 1952:
Sorry I missed the bash last night, I had my work party. Sam (my young on') and I are going to be heavy in to the hunt this year. I have a suspicion that we're going back to Highland. Five times in 50 years....
Anyone know where we can get the official cooler medallion hunt button?
According to today's PP, page 16H, "the new clues will be in newspapers sold from the downtown St. Paul lobby at 345 Cedar Street starting at about 11 each night during the hunt. The new clue, she said, also will be posted at midnight at www.pioneerplanet.com/wintercarnival"
Hey! Sam wants to know what the medallion actually looks like. Has anyone ever SEEN the medallion? A jpeg would be great. Is there a picture of the actual med somewhere? coolercrew.com?
At the risk of sounding like an idiot (although those who've met me know that it's too late for that), wouldn't something wrapped in any kind of foil set off a metal detector, Allison? I'm not suggesting it's actually wrapped in real gold foil, but I don't know how sensitive those detectors are and you generally see someone out every year with one.
Foil would set those detectors off...but it's been years since I've seen those during the hunt. It somehow seems more fair now without that technology.
Now here's something to consider though. It says St. Paul is the place to look. Dig elsewhere and you'll not find it. Grammatically the implication is that you will be digging, just not outside of St. Paul.
Emmy and Hannah's Mom - and Dad too have the buttons. They are $1 each to cover the cost. They will be hunting and at the rehash bash and on the board here. You'll have to hook up with them one way or another.
So are we to assume DIG elsewhere and you'll not find it, or does it mean dig ELSEWHERE and you'll not find it? Maybe that's the difference between whether or not it's in the snow.
I don't recall them ever spelling out anything like that in the first or any clues (though sometimes they spell something with the first letter of each clue). Maybe its someone new writing them this year. Sounds like someone who was a hunter last year.
I bought another button last night at McGovern's from the Vulcans because I was convinced it made sense to have at least 2 registered in case the USPS wasn't reliable.
I just went to fill out the card to get in the mail tomorrow - only to find it has already been ripped off!
methinks most colleges have that problem. even the u is a graveyard without classes. and nate knows this he spent a few days working there over winter break.
Elsehwere--adverb [middle English elleshwere; Anglo Saxon Elleshwaer] in, at, or to some other place; somewhere else. Webster's New World Dictionary. Ok, that did nothing but occupy time. Honestly, in 10 years, clue1 has not given us the park or the hiding object, so I need another clue to obsess on.
the past 4 years, while not giving us the park, have at least given that it is in a park. 95 and 96 saved that piece till the second clue, and 94 did it with the first.
Your reading to much into this ITS ONLY THE FIRST CLUE!!!!
tell me about it snake. read any of the discussion immediately following the clue release last night?
stepdogg, you back in town or up in stc?
Ares...still at school now. i'm coming home on tues or wednesday to really get serious this year!! How are you doing?

well i'll be back at the stroke of 12....later
Does the paper still sell the early addition at 11:00?

green, any news on the meeting at the conservatory yet?
joe
Nope. Word's still to come in from them. Hope to know by tomorrow.
dave, i feel robbed.
So why isn't it midnight yet???
Are you asking about the Winter Carnival button or the Coolercrew button?

TV. We're wondering 'bout the Cooler Crew button. Saw these under memorabilia on the Cooler webpage.

Along with the CC button, does anyone know where to get the Medallion shirt OFF-line?
The fiftieth anniversary is fifty years from the date of the event, regardless of the subsequent number of times the event has been repeated.
Emmy and Hannah's Mom - and Dad too have the buttons. They are $1 each to cover the cost. They will be hunting and at the rehash bash and on the board here. You'll have to hook up with them one way or another.
It might set them off, if anyone really wanted to drag one out and use it just because there's a possibility it might work.
So are we to assume DIG elsewhere and you'll not find it, or does it mean dig ELSEWHERE and you'll not find it? Maybe that's the difference between whether or not it's in the snow.
Elsewhere is a word of contrast, so I would think it would pretty much have to be the second option.
Sam thanks you, DDave. I'll keep my eyes open for Emmy and Hannah's Mom - Dad.
Have they ever spelled out the initial letters in bold before? Seems really like a rookie move, a diversion.
G O O D L U C K
Could this have anything to do with the first line, ...prepare to be bold?
ok i don't think they are going to have any certain word in the first clue that actually means something. they never do.

Boy am I MAD!!!

Grumble, Grumble!

Anybody want to transcribe the clue if I call it in from the paper at 11:00?
the past 4 years, while not giving us the park, have at least given that it is in a park. 95 and 96 saved that piece till the second clue, and 94 did it with the first.
I would if you want. I have a cell phone you can call.
DD- I can email you my number if Allison does not respond.
go leela
Sorry, got distracted. Got it.

a big thanks in advance to DD for helping us noodle earlier! I can't wait!!!
I've been doing some map reading here. Just getting familiar again with streets and such.
Downtown Dave! Thank you!!!!
Just checking in... not sure what to think of the 1st clue. Am hoping that this next one gives us more info.
Thanks to DD for getting the paper early! :)
So does anyone think this clue will prove usefull or just leave us going "Huh?"
