The medallion is hidden within the city limits (not north of the railroad tracks). It is located on public property and is not more than 6 feet off the ground. It’s also not located on the historical house property or inside the Tiger Park baseball field.
The medallion is about 2 inches in diameter and has “Belle Plaine St. Patrick’s Day” inscribed on it. The prize for finding it is $100.
The Shamrock Medallion Hunt is a community event. Participants do not need to be of Irish descent. If you find it, call Don Meger at 952-454-6492.
If the medallion is not found this week, a second clue will be published in next Wednesday’s Herald (March 4). A third clue, if necessary, will appear March 11.
This year’s parade and festivities will take place Saturday, March 14.
Any Belle Plaine High Junior-Senior School girls of Irish descent interested in becoming a candidate for Miss Shamrock are asked to contact the school office or call Jeanette Gloege at 952-873-6684. Applications can be picked up at BPHS.
