I'm afraid some personal matters at home have kept me from promoting this hunt
more or earlier, but the hunt will go on and in fact it will start tomorrow
(Friday). Clues are written, the medallion is hidden, and there will be prize
money to be won.
The kickoff for the hunt will be Friday, March 12th at Yarusso's this year.
They've offered us half price on appetizerrs and drinks and their private room
for our use. We'll meet starting at 5pm and the clue will be released at 6pm.
After that, stick around and socialize and maybe some other activity will even
follow, or perhaps you'll want to run out and look for the treasure! If you're
not familiar with Yarusso's, it is on Payne Ave. across from Swede Hollow.
Check out their website at http://www.yarussos.com/ for more information.
As for the hunt itself, it will be 12 clues as usual, one per day with each clue
released at 6pm. The hunt is limited to public property in St. Paul. It will
not be hidden in or on water, up a tree, on top of a building, on a steep
hillside, inside anything electrical, or in anything else that would make you
question if looking there might be a bad idea.
The prize will be somewhere between $200 and $500 depending on participation.
If you'd like to participate as a registered hunter, the cost is $10 and you are
eligible to win the entire prize. All money brought in this way will go towards
the prize. If you wish to participate as a non-registered hunter and you win,
you will get $100 and any additional registration money will go towards some
other Cooler Crew cause.
To register, you can pay me at the kickoff event. If you can't make that, you
can also send me the money via Paypal at this email or you can request an
address to send a check to. You may register up through the release of the 4th
clue. The hunt will continue until the treasure is found, though I do reserve
the right to end the hunt early if there is cause to do so. In the unlikely
event of an aborted hunt, registration fees will be returned.
I believe that covers everything, but if there are any questions, feel free to
post them.
