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
They are coming back in feb with "voices of venice & rome"
somehow I don't think any of their language is bleepin' heathen tho.
That said, the new clue reminds of the first time I saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show. You say, hmmmmmmmm. I don't know what was going through the heads of the folks who came up with that. (Mind you, I can now repeat that movie by heart, I am after all, a Catholic School graduate, and we do call and answer better than anybody.)
On topic, so I don't get banned. I think, as others I don't remember have said. that we are looking for TWO of something. Something that used be a twin, but isn't now.
I like the pioneer press/dispatch situation. I just don't know yet how that helps. (don't you just love it when you see an orange newspaper tube still attached to a railing?).
I also think that today's clue is this year's "historical person Dave will never get".
and rather hairy arms and not very toned upper arms..
personally dear clue writter .. i wouldn't be showing so much skin if i were you..
The Gateway State Trail connects to the Phalen-Keller Regional Park, the Bruce Vento Regional trail, and several other city trail networks.
The Gateway trail goes right over the creek connecting Lake Keller to Lake Phalen.
Frost Avenue runs next to the Gateway Trail (ice reference Clue 1 ?).
Then connects to the other two lakes (Gervais, etc.).
oooh. i can't say as though i saw this before, but good one!
could this new cluewriter be a maverick, doing something no one's ever done placing the puck in the same park back to back? the cross above the church is visible from in the canyon.
probably grasping at straws though :smile:
I think its the best overall idea.
I was thinking the no-longer-twin thing could either be there's just one remaining today, or both are gone. It could go either way.
There is a very strange theater there for halloween productions:
BareBones Productions.
Puppets, etc.
http://www.barebonespuppets.org/
Follow a headless chicken into the belly of a giant wolf to discover stilters descending from trees, fire performers bringing you the larger-than-life Egyptian god of the dead, and your own heart burning, burning, burning.
Featuring a live, 35-piece orchestra performing an original score."
They had 1,000 to 1,500 attend this event.
weird find.
so if for any reason you read this - don't come over :smile:
headed down to bulldog.
maybe Wed or Thursday night before the clue.
But I don't see where there is any indication that there once were twins, but now there is only one. I read it as she once blessed us with twins. Doesn't mean both twins don't still exist.
Hay, D-Daves!
Ares, if we remembered everything said here... Well, we'd have really good memories. :smile:
Whomever brought up the 'arms' as in weapons, that was good and now I'm gnawing on that.
Fascinating piece of Twin Cities history.

I like highland
James R Brown was the editor of "Minnesota Pioneer" (St Paul Pioneer Press fore-runner?).
Brown was one of the first important settlers, arriving in 1819.
My noodle was wondering if maybe that part of the clue mentioning our mother blessing us with twins could refer to the bluffs on both sides of the Mississippi and one of the parks along those bluffs.
