The 2018 Waterama Medallion has been found by the Majerus, Lundebrek, Harris & Hanson families once again!

Pictured are the following family members: Front: Mileigh Lundebrek & Matthew Lundebrek.Back: Jenny Harris, Carol Hanson, Eleigh Lundebrek, Bill Hanson, JoAnne Harris

The medallion was found taped to a picnic table across from Glenwood Retirement village near the soccer fields, where people frequently take breaks, sit and watch the lake, or just rest on their walks.

When asked what parts of the clues led them there, they replied: “There were a lot of things that led us that direction. There were several discussions about the clues that we had, but in the end, it was putting together the pieces such as …. Survive 60 plus years, providentially blessed to call this our home, bells, green grass, leafy trees, pleasant lake breezes, spirit, family and all modes of transportation. In addition, they said that the repeated “BE KIND” was a big clue as the local “Be Kind” committee meets are Glenwood Retirement Village and sometimes uses that exact picnic table to hold their regular meetings.”

Over the past several days, there have been many people out searching, many questions of what are the city limit borders, what’s public versus private property, and repeated, many found it hard to believe that the Minnewaska Area High School was not in the City limits of Glenwood!

Of the past 6 years of searching for the medallion, this family has found it now 4 of the 6 years! It was not a surprise to us that they emerged with the medallion once again!

Attached you will find a complete copy of the medallion clues, including that which would have been released Saturday morning, which as you will see would have led anyone directly to that same spot!

Congratulations to the Majerus, Lundebrek, Harris & Hanson families combined efforts and diligent searching and we hope that you enjoy spending your $100 in Minnewaska Dollars that the Chamber & Welcome Center provide each year as a prize for the winners!

Happy Waterama Everyone! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

It’s time again for our great summertime family reunion, Waterama 2018.
Since the last there has been quite a few changes than now grace our scene.
Bank, hospital, and firehall dreams fulfilled to name a few, with others too numerous to mention
and once finished, the complete street project will flow all modes of transport convention.

Due to construction on the usual parade avenue, Waterama officials had to reroute it
And if you’re thinkin’ of nosing along there, as they say in New York, “just forgeddaboutit”.
Moving barricades or jumping tape lines and you could find yourself in a bind
So be safe, respect property: but have fun, and oh yeah, always “BeKind”.

Aside from the detoured routes the show must go on for all you Guys and Dolls 
With the familiar time honored schedule of events including Lakeside dances and balls. T
o survive 60 plus years you learn to roll with the punches, in pulling off this community endeavor 
And after the dust settles my hunch is, future Wateramas will be bigger & better than ever.

Thanks to all who make this possible though we are not left to our own devise
But have providentially blessed to call this our home, this bit of paradise.
Living here is sort of a continuing vacation; still it's ok to get away to rewind
Though for many others this is their vacation spot, so always be inviting & kind.

I should note all the HS campus amenities (for now out of sight-out of mind)
But in just over a month school bus bells will ring and it's back to the same old grind.
Just kidding, though for some fitting in and academic success is harder to find
So to make them for all, the best years of their lives, be inclusive, affirming & kind.

Till then enjoy the green grass, leafy trees, and pleasant lake breezes
Be sure to come back to Winterama for more food and fun when our big lake freezes
By now you're likely wondering "any clues so far what I've opined"?
Let me assure you that from my angle there are, however obtusely entwined.

Keeping smiling up thru the coronation for each pronouncement as you hear it.
You know that you're all winners and allow me to remind you this bit of advice
"It's nice to be important but it is more important to be nice."
