We received the same "didn't do anything wrong" email from the Twins PR person. They said the clues and hiding was done by the advertising firm that the Twins had hired. You can't blame them for trying to c.y.a. but it's too bad they had to pay someone that didn't know the rules! You can google the firm- maybe they can explain? It looks like this years contest was doomed from the beginning if they couldn't even get the county it's hidden in correct! I hope they don't end the contest as it's a great way to get people outdoors and get the baseball season started.
LOOK at the list of Sponsor!!! LOL All the place they are sending you to Happen to be SPONSORS!!!! lol
hay how can we do something that Is really Kool and Has lots of followers and a cult fallowing!!! Lets try to make TONS OF MONEY OFF IT!!!! And make it so all the bizz that sponsor us have to have people stop in because all the clues will point them to there Bizz!!!
soooo they want us to go to these places but in reality we can do all or most from home? and then we all just show up at the Loop on Aug 6th with the answers and split the prizes?
The Loop reminds me of the bulldog. I like it.
I didn't see the first clue? did it have to do with how many stores were in front of Mary Tyler Moore or something? I read the article quickly and thats what it seemed to ask.

The North High DECA students are doing a medallion hunt as part of their festival.
You received the clues when we did the medallion hunt at Snow Frolics, so I thought you might like to receive them for this medallion hunt too.
If you would rather not receive the clues, just let me know, and I'll remove you from the list.
Have fun, and good luck.

I know somebody who has one
Hugo Good Neighbor Days
Hunt For The Golden Spike 2009
Clue #1.
WinterÂ’s gone, and weÂ’re presuminÂ’
In every yard the flowers are bloominÂ’.
The kids all shout, “School’s almost out!”
—Good Neighbor Days is finally loomin’!
Clue #2.
Listen closely, and you will hear
Of fun the Lions have planned this year:
Somewhere in Hugo, “Spike” is hiding.
Anticipation is igniting!
In this annual endeavor,
Luck won’t suffice—you must be clever.
Clue #3.
You wonÂ’t need shovels, you wonÂ’t need tools,
But you must surely read the rules.
And if you do as you are bidden,
YouÂ’ll know that Spike is carefully hidden
On public land, in a city park.
Check the map. DonÂ’t miss your mark.
Without a clue, youÂ’re in the dark.
Clue #4. (Thursday a.m.)
Just speculate how much we owe
To that guy who plied the old Silk Road
To the stately court of Kublai Khan
For treasure by the camel-load.
