Thanks to CM for picking the park! Finding it so quickly was such a fluke, I just have to believe it was meant to be... :grin: :smile:
Ironically, the reason I went the way I did (and found the star) was to go check on him and make sure he was sitting at the picnic bench that he was supposed to be waiting at (of course, he wasn't there) :eyeroll: :sillygrin:
EP coffeeshop wants to get you out treasure hunting
By Karla Wennerstrom
Sheldon Smith was the second depot agent in Eden Prairie. He built the red brick house with white trim which is now home to Eden PrairieÂ’s Dunn Bros.
“Legend” has it that as he was working on the house, 132 years ago,
he lost a wrench.
Can you find it?
Ann Schuster, franchise owner of Eden PrairieÂ’s West Dunn Bros. said the lucky treasure hunter who finds Sheldon SmithÂ’s rusty wrench will receive a $150 gift card to the coffee shop.
“I was thinking about what we could do to create some excitement in the winter,” Schuster said. She said January is a difficult month in the coffee business. She and her staff came up with an idea for the treasure hunt.
The Dunn Bros. at the Smith-Douglas-More House is partnering with the city of Eden Prairie in the hunt, which is set to begin with clues posted in the coffeeshop on Feb. 1. A clue is to be posted at the Eden Prairie Road Dunn Bros. every day at 4 p.m.
 :cool:

Medallion time is here again go out all of you with a grin.
Look at a park where people picnic and if your guess which one, it will be no gimic.
Vadnais Heights Heritage Days Medallion Hunt
$200 cash prize Hotline 651-204-6017
8/11/2008 - Medallion Hunt Clue #1
Once upon a time in the City of Vadnais Heights,
Dwelled a medallion with a prize so right.
Within the town boundries upon public land
The treasure is hidden so find it if you can.
8/12/2008 - Medallion Hunt Clue #2
The medallion lies nestled in a place so serene
No playgrounds or sports fields are to be seen.
The prize is surrounded by nature and trees so tall
It peacefully waits to be found before the leaves fall.
8/13/2008 - Medallion Hunt Clue #3
The way to arrive at the medallion's abode
Is neither a lane, street, avenue nor road.
Start at Petula Clark's destination then southwest you'll range
On the city's namesake but watch for the name change.
8/14/2008 - Medallion Hunt Clue #4
Shimmering water greets you at the entrance door
With houses all around that most would adore.
Once you're inside take a long look around
The medallion is lying in wait to be found.
8/15/2008 - Medallion Hunt Clue #5
The quest for the medallion requires neither shovel nor rake
A set of garden gloves and a little work is all that it takes.
Hidden in a small box that smells ever so sweet
Under the foilage is where you will meet.
so it musta been found by now
If its just simply being on the radio, that would still kinda be cool....

I'm betting on the Brass family!!!!
^^^^ BrassMonkey next year.
Is there going to be a conference call? That was fun! :wink:
Mad_Dach5und here, any y'all Coolers home on the Swe'Holler Net? c'mon back!
I think I'm ready for another conference call...
Mrs Brassmonkey loves Dunn Bros. I think Tim has the right idea.
Sheldon's wrench is now lost in a park on the prairie.
Eden is sure, the place for your query.
The hunt is now launched for your pleasure today.
Come hunt for the wrench where we all play.
Might want to start a new thread :smile:
