13th Annual Rehash Bash and Other End of the Winter Carnival Festivities
Sunday, January 31, 2010
Newell Park Pavilion
900 N. Fairview Ave.
Saint Paul, MN 55104
11:30am-2:30pm
The 13th Annual Rehash Bash will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2010, at Newell Park, from 11:30am to 2:30pm. As always, its a potluck, and since we\'ve got the building, there will be plenty of power indoors for crock pots. Donations will be accepted to cover the $136 cost for renting the facility. MrMnMikey has some door prizes available. Since this isn\'t Super Bowl Sunday this year, if people want to stick around past the 2:30 closing time, we can start a fire in one of the fire rings.
In addition, many of us long-time Coolerheads are loyal servants of Vulcanus Rex. Join us for the Vulcan Victory Torchlight Parade, followed by the Vulcan Victory Dance. Information on the Parade Route is from the 2006 Vulcan Krewe. The best places for viewing the parade are going to be at the end of the parade route, as His Majesty, Vulcanus Rex LXXIII, the true King of the Winter Carnival, overthrows that other guy on the steps of the St. Paul Central Library, across from Rice Park

When January’s slanting snow,
Makes us dream of Mexico
St. Paul emerges from Wintery sleep
To search for treasure buried deep
Notice to every hunting battalion,
We have hidden the Pioneer Press Medallion
Where? You ask in husky shout,
That’s for us to know, and you to find out
Turn off the tube, leave your hovel
Grab your walking stick and shovel,
Whether you be giant or runt,
The only way is to join the hunt
For to the hunter belongs the spoil,
Hunt by day, or Midnight oil,
Hunt in boot and sturdy glove,
Hunt with pal, or old true love
For you who hunt each and every year,
We raise a lusty St. Paul cheer
“Good Luck”
And now, let us be blunt,
Get off thy duff, and hunt, hunt, hunt

All hail, O Fire King, of thee we sing
Thy blast of winter heat scorches
When ice was like concrete it would\'ve been so sweet
If the Vulcans plowed with their torches
Emerge from the den as we once again
Offer a bodacious bounty
And this tip to the frozen: bring thick lederhosen
To public land in Ramsey County
Clue #1 Video
Hear ye all crews, now come the clues
For this task I am the Czar
With each rhyming gift, this shape I will shift
Listen well to each avatar
Kissed by a Vulcan, she left him sulkin\'
\"Sir Soot, I\'ll not forgive these sins!\"
Her airs Elizabethan, her language, bleepin\' heathen,
Our mother once blessed us with twins.
Look high, look low, wherever you go
Follow a picturesque route
There are ways to travel away from the gravel
That keep you in hot pursuit
Code by Morse should set your course
To long dashes that dot the landscape.
You or your avatar should park your car
On your way to this great escape.
Take a westerly tack up from the stack,
A landmark most uncouth.
Figures grand in scale point to a trail
Of footprints left by our sleuth.
You\'ll want to go shopping where things are hopping
And storeowners once dropped anchor
Go down the main drag, but be sure not to lag,
You\'ll have plenty for which to thank her
Escape your troubles where the water bubbles
Or gurgles like a stream.
You may be chargin\' right up to the margin.
Look for a productive seam.
Down on the delta where there\'s no ice to melta
The purple horde raids a golden legion
Today before kick off the prize you\'ll pick off
If you search in just the right region
To find the seed, energy you need
In search for your clues to glean
What once was planted is taken for granted
Stored in one of fifteen
Not far from stones and ancient bones
Lay clues that are fit for Jim
Lure the egrets to yield all secrets
And you should satisfy him
Get your kicks by hitting the bricks
Admiring the trees and view
Be ever glad hopping pad to pad
Like amphibians in\'52
Stonehenge tumbled down near a crumbled town
Not far from the lights of the city
If you would hike away from the pike
You might stumble on something pretty
Upstream from the landing lay a place in good standing
Where people prayed, God willin\'
Now midst the cocklebur and rusted spur
Is nothing by murder and killin\'
This park is a sliver, from ancient beds to a river
In neither is the prize to be found
Look for the goods among timber and woods
Do not dig in the fossil ground
Go for a lark in Lilydale Park
Between Water Street and the river
The city boundary sign and the old rail line
Define the zone that will deliver
You\'re outside the pale if you\'re close to the rail
It\'s not to be found near the tracks
Be nice and cooperative, respect private property
On public land launch your attacks
Within this area lies medallion hysteria
A tangle near the river - not too close!
About four dozen paces from the waterline to places
Where you should tromp, dig and freeze your nose
OK night all SCD
coulda been me just thinking of Joes article on roads not being plowed (well)... and the torches.... made me think if Hidden Falls and he south end not being plowed OR any other park not plowed (well) like Alice!! doh! also something being froze over made me think of the Mississippi River.
Note the accent in clue 2... VERY southern twang -- south end of a park OR park in south of St Paul.
GOODHUE, JAMES M. - Boren in 1811 in New York. Trained from childhood to become a lawyer, Goodhue, in 1849, was living in Lancaster, WI, and pursuing the profession of his real choosing, as editor of the Wisconsin Herald. When the news came of the organization of the Minnesota Territory, he resolved to remove to St. Paul and establish a newspaper. He immediately purchased a press and type, and was on his way as soon as the shipping channels opened that year. He arrived on April 18th, and on the 28th of that month, had published the first issue of the Minnesota Pioneer.
Goodhue was a fearless reporter, and was a prototype of the energetic journalists who would make Minnesota's newspapers a force to be reckoned with in future years. Sadly, Goodhue's serious illness was reported in his own paper on August 5th, 1852, and he died on the 27th of that month. His real estate holdings were valued at $6,000 in 1850. He and his wife Henrietta (1822 NY) had at least three children: James (1847 WI), Mary (1847 WI), and Edward (d.29 Oct 1849 age 1 year & 4 months).[
a park that Goodhue runs in to ?
Is Goodhue in Highland Park or Mac Grove? not thinking that hard, its late.
The Pioneer Press traces its history back to both the Minnesota Pioneer, Minnesota's first daily newspaper (which was founded in 1849 by James M. Goodhue), and the Saint Paul Dispatch (which was launched in 1868). Ridder Publications acquired the Minnesota Pioneer and the Dispatch in 1927. The two papers were operated for many years as separate morning and evening papers, but were merged into an all-day publication in 1985 as the St. Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch and made the transition to morning-only newspaper in 1990
I grit my teeth and feel my cheeks just thinking about that. :pbpt: :ooh: :goofy:
Elizabethan Her airs
Queen Elizabeth I - prejudice against Jews and Catholics = Highland Park
I don't know how the Shakespeare plays in but he was in this "era"
....other than my uncle graduated from Highland Park Sr and he was in Shakespearian plays in highschool and college. heh :eyeroll:
William Shakespeare
This Elizabethan times man was famous as a Poet, Playwright, Dramatist and Actor. Important facts accomplishments, dates and events in the life and history of the Great Bard, William Shakespeare and the Elizabethan times in which he lived.
Anyone planning on going to the press tonight? I might be able to swing by I don't hve to work tonight.
Nice meeting you last night as well.
Could also mean saintly (good, pure, virginal) which then I can get the clue to make sense. Or at least the first part - the public land is in the city proper.
I'm still not getting once being blessed with twins. I think the once 2 clues a day is as good as any but I don't see how that gets me any closer to The Med.
Thinking further with Ma Press being a city paper, or the city's paper, I can get the second part to fit. Though it would have been an eaiser noodle for me had the clue read "her mother once blessed her with twins," 'her' being the city and referring back to the woman in the first couple lines. Mom/Ma Press is a Coolerism and is not used by everyone. That's what keeps me thinking there's something else to this mother thing.
looks like the same guy?? ok..maybe not...but cool if your a vikes fan..
The Michael Jackson look = Jackson St.?
Left arm = to the left?
"Elizabethan Airs" could be "Klondike Kate". I got this tidbit from the Klondike Kate site "In 1971 the Saint Paul JayceeÂ’s held the first Annual Klondike Kate contest."
In 1971, the 11th clue references Twins. It was found in Wakefield Park that year.
I thought I would mention this and know I'm not pointing out anyone in particular.
We don't have kids posting on this board, but because this hunt is a family event, likely there will be kids reading over their parents shoulder whether they are posting here or just lurking. (After all, many of us first got interested in this hunt doing this as kids with our families.)
I'm hoping we can all be mindful of that when we are posting and keep the cursing out of the mix.
Thank you.
Little Joe
I SEE KT!!!! :grin:
Not sure who owns/owned the radio tower near Newell.
