2018 New London Water Days Medallion Hunt

Happy summer to all my Peeps,
It’s WaterDays again!
Here I am just hanging out,
Wondering where you’ve been.

Another year has come and gone,
I hope you didn’t forget,
That finding me once again,
Is a $100 sure bet!

Thanks again to the following banks,
Who have sponsored me once more,
To United Minnesota & Lake Region Bank,
Let’s hear you give a roar!!!!

When you find me you will see,
I am an awesome gift My Friend.
Gold in color, tucked away,
West Central Trophy gave a hand.

Not too far north, or to the south,
Not far west but more toward east,
That’s where I’ll be until you find,
The time to visit at least.

People here they come and go,
But I wish that there were more.
To just stay put and revel in,
The memories once stored.

Do NOT attempt to seek for me,
When it is dark outside.
You will not find me in the night,
And there’s some traffic where I hide.

Safety first I tell you Friends,
No private property I’ll be,
Everyone can use the space,
That is surrounding me!

It’s day 2 and so much fun,
To be here in this space.
Part of me is just content,
That you haven’t seen my face.

It allows me time to just rest here,
Where others come and go.
With all these neat and different means,
Of going to and fro.

Some will stop just for a bit,
Others they will see,
What caught my eye and made me stay,
Please won’t you come join me?

They say that I am something special,
The center of attention.
It’s great to hear the conversations,
Where the Medallion is of mention.

It feels as though I’m upside down,
Yes, pretty sure I’m right.
If I could just fall out of here,
I think I could take flight!

There lots of living happening,
When moving or when still,
A privilege to take part in it,
From me just up the hill.

I suppose you’d say I am down a bit,
From all that’s going on,
But really I am up again,
Come see me, I’m not gone!

Oh how I love this town of yours,
I see why you call it home,
WaterSki shows, great food and shops,
It’s just so fun to roam.

Happy HUMP DAY, It’s Wednesday,
The middle of the week!
Much like my home,
Where I’m tucked in so sleek.

This hunting of me,
Is sort of a race,
A thing much loved,
By friends in this place.

There so much to see,
I am certain, I hear,
Footsteps and cars,
And even the deer!

With just a short visit,
You may come find,
A few friends in area,
Of the giving kind.

There’s paths all around,
Quite something to see,
Real close to a spot,
To just come and BE!

I am loving the landscape,
The rock and the trees,
The water not far,
To the eye it does please!

As soon as you get here,
Even close I might say,
You will find me for sure,
But for a bit you should stay.

Gather the sights,
Listen to sounds,
Have you even just taken,
Some time on these grounds?

Oh my goodness it’s day four,
The celebration will soon be done.
Don’t let it end before I’m found,
There’s money to be won!

What an honor to still be here,
Facing all the others,
So many that have graced us well,
Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Brothers.

If I had the chance to stay here longer,
Even after I’ve been found,
I really wouldn’t hesitate,
To forever stay ‘round.

I peeked out just a while ago,
To find an empty lot.
I wish that it were filled with cars,
To visit in this spot.

A giving of community,
They really keep on giving,
While some gave all so you and I,
This world could keep on living!

Come and see the friends we have,
Read out loud their name,
Some gave all and all gave some,
And we’ll never be the same!
