Clue #1:

Manitou Days? Check. Hidden treasure? Check.

Now cue in your dreams of pursuit and winning.

It will all end when you successfully wend

Down the pike and right back to the beginning.

So cÂ’mon get going! Feel that adrenaline flowing

Stare your competition in the eye.

NowÂ’s the time to get down to business

As for hometown fame you vie.

Clue #2:

ThereÂ’s no need to dig to succeed in this gig

And around ornamentation gently tread.

Be a rock star inspector for our crafted protector

In your noggin let these words embed.

Banners majestic and others domestic

Will give you a sense of position.

The area does harbor a scatter of arbor

Lending you some shade on your mission.

Clue #3:

He faces north but they went forth

Venturing toward another horizon.

Being first in dedication is a worthy acclamation

From an event that shall never wizen.

Dilapidated appeal, forged from a deal

ItÂ’s name they did affix.

It was a linear view from you to canoe

With grass and campers betwixt.

Clue #4:

Charlie Spry devoured a third of a pie

“Uffta,” he said, “the flavors are squarely divine!”

Peach was the type, with meringue of great height

Now crack this clueÂ’s shapely design.

You will stay awake if splashed in a lake

As lifeÂ’s too short to linger on shorelines.

Keep your chin held high and youÂ’ll get by

Are you beginning to see money signs?

I think it would be cool if it was in Triangle park where we park to see Gordy's band (pie reference)

Of course there's always Sunrise park once again (beginning)

This hunt always give me a headache, there is always some odd movie reference that makes sense once you know what it is but I struggle to think of anyone who would solve them on their own.
