2015 St. Peter Winterfest Hunt

Ten times before the medallion has been found,
The only place to look is on public ground
Near a bench, out in the open, or just by a tree
If you search real hard, the signs are there to see

When the clues are announced, the excitement is high,
As you picture the medallion in your mind's eye.
If you want to find the prize and win a cool grand,
You must get out of your car and search the whole land.

The upcoming Grammys will be anything but bland,
Do you know who plays bass in your favorite band?
If you don't know this answer, you are not alone,
The location of the medallion is also unknown.

Without much snow this winter, water levels could be low,
When the snow is abundant, spring waters may overflow.
If these clues seem too fishy and have put you in a lurch,
Just gather your thoughts before you go on your search.

Don't be too quick to judge what each clue is about,
A false accusation could cause a lot of doubt.
To find the medallion and secure all the dough,
Away from the river is where you must go.

If the last clue has caused your search to go astray,
Checking out Sweeney Todd might just show you the way.
The judge has the answer to what today's clue implies,
Leave nothing to chance and you will exalt in the prize.

You've narrowed the search to the right part of town,
If you storm to the right spot you will not wear a frown.
You should look for the giant arms reaching for the sky,
Turn over a new leaf by the broken one lying nearby.
You're very close now it's time to pick up your gait,
Finish your search where the path is not straight.
