The Fest in Fifteen and this first clue not stark.
One thousand good reasons to Walk in the Park.
To new heights we will climb as I motivate many.
Let’s be frank and admit that you want every penny.
Do not wreck the view as you evaluate banter.
Stick to the middle but clear of the center.

Trade-Mart Bonus Clue:

Twenty-five for the union, twenty-nine – rebel side.
Could this arborist’s soldier contain where I hide?
The whisper of leaves will conceal and confide.

The official meaning of the clue.

Simply speaking to the larger cash prize and alluding to the 2015 slogan. Middle of town but not right in the center of town.

Bonus Clue:

On the Cascade Lake Park trail, after the Highway 14 walking bridge, there are trees on both north "Union" side and south "rebel" side. The Treasure was on the north side in the 25th tree.

Rock ‘n roll now to the Fest Treasure’s home.
A walk in the park is a vast sward to comb.
The closer you get to the sandbox of men.
But far enough past to tread safely again.
But the bonus is better when ‘tween lines you read.
A grand reward for those who proceed.

The official meaning of the clue.

Quarrying and lots of bikes/inline skates on the trail around Cascade Lake. The tree location is on the edge of a larger mowed area that circles Cascade Lake. There is active dredging and large sand piles at Cascade Lake. On the opposite, "safe" side of the lake. Each tree has protective shielding that is made up of vertical and horizontal "lines." $1,000 to the finder, or one "grand."

Clue 3

Still attached to your quarry? That’s a big park to walk.
The raptor can see it though foxes may balk.
The ubiquitous watch over twenty and twelve,
while the clues focus into that which you should delve.

Whistle Binkies Bonus Clue:

Sway with the breeze, a shelter for flyers.
My fuel may be offered for numerous fires.
The cataract tamed regulates and inspires.

The official meaning of the clue.

The dredging looks like quarrying in a park, and the trail around "big" Cascade Lake is over 2 miles long. Straight south of the location, "Eagle" Lane SW is nearby, but "Foxcroft" in SW is behind a hill. "Universal" Marine & RV is nearby, as well as city soccer fields. Twelve "pentagons" and twenty "hexagons" make up a standard soccer ball. Both are quite visible from the Treasure hiding place.

Bonus Clue:

A "cascade" made into a great city park, with regulated pathways and inspirational views. Trees
