2023 Coon Rapids Snowflake Days Medallion Hunt

No time for delay, it's a shortened celebration this year,
Snowflake Days is upon us so keep your mind clear;
Go get that button then grab your shovel and rake,
Just eight days worth of clues in your quest to partake.

Search far and wide on city owned property is the key,
Some timely and wise advice from this year's Marquis;
Her name is Donna Carson, volunteer extraordinaire,
Adjourned in a cape and hat if it fits over her bountiful hair.

Somewhere between 29th and 30th may make you feel nervous,
Just imagine the connection to a number and an Amazon service;
The prize rests in this somewhat rectangle piece of city land,
Locating the golden circular medallion will make your day grand.

Two trees are the oldest ones in the yard Joe and Jill currently call home,
Planted in memory of "Rachel" if back in history we roam;
The far side is in name somewhat the size of a grape,
​But orange in color yet similar in size and same shape.

Don't get bogged down in the depths when out on your search,
A good place for your boat after fishing sunfish or perch;
The name's source seems a mystery or so we are told,
Maybe once was a swamp or pond if we dare be so bold.

Gedney's one type if you are interested in this racket,
And a pair of crystal reflections exist when you don't need a jacket;
A couple newer structures are there and from the elements protects,
Along with an assortment of fun options for the kids to select.

From the only current parking lot then right and over a ditch,
Take a left in the direction you travel to striking it rich;
Like Wrigley or Tinker, but on a much abbreviated scale,
Johnny Castino had this number, lest your memory fail.

A rectangular shape forms a large protective screen,
And on it is labeled this number you've seen;
And right off the trail a tool box of sorts,
Wrapped in grey duct tape is the winning passport.
