Come for the bragging rights -- stay for the fun!

Start by straining your brain as you work through each cleverly designed clue -- you'll be thankful for Google and those library research books! Then climb in a car, or hop on your bike, and head to some interesting location as you begin the actual hands-on hunt! Is it down on the ground? Behind a tree? Up on the top of a wall? Get out there and put your ideas to work!

Once you've participated in Spring Training, it will be time to jump in for the real deal -- our annual Rose Festival Treasure Hunt!

Clues are written not only to help people learn how to hunt, but to also explore the individual histories and geography of the counties that are part of the Rose Festival Family. The four Training Hunts will run for six days each, beginning April 20 and ending May 16. Clues to each hunt will be available daily at 10:00 a.m. at this website.

Due to the increased popularity of the Rose Festival's annual Treasure Hunt, this year participants can share something totally new! There will be four separate Spring Training Treasure Hunts -- one a week for four straight weeks -- starting on April 20 (2021). Each hunt will be limited to a six-day period, and the first hunter to find the Treasure will be declared the winner -- and be allowed to keep the treasure they discover!

Winners will receive a $20 gift certificate to Voodoo Doughnut. (Additional sponsor/donor promotional prizes may be included -- to be announced.)

Participation is free of charge and hunters may encourage others to join in the fun -- the more, the merrier! (Please see the RULES above for details.)

Hunting should be limited to daylight hours, only, please. The treasure will not be hidden on private property and hunters are strictly forbidden to hunt on said property. There should be one winner per each Spring Training Treasure Hunt, and it is the sole discretion of the Rose Festival to confirm each winner. Winners will be required to participate in standard publicity, and to fill out any necessary paperwork.

Looking for something new to do
And a reason to go outside?
A treasure hunt has what you need
Let fun be your guide!

You may crack some clues by searching
Using just your computer keys
And though research can be fruitful
You’ll need footwork amongst the trees

Start by finding a former mayor’s seat
Let her vision lead the way
Take like a fish to water
And find a place to play

Things to do for young and old
Hoops and loops galore
Bring your children, friends, or pooch
There’s so much to explore!

Water, water everywhere
No longer there to drink
Now it’s a run for your money
Stay away from the brink

You might happen to notice
A missing 4 and 3
You won’t find them here
Except near a notable tree

If you’re at the top, you’ve missed the point
It’s not the place to be
Some information to assist you
Just might be the key

The history here is boring
But not in the way you think
A plaque with an explanation
Can help you make the link
