2025 Perham Turtle Fest Medallion Hunt

"Let the games begin"

The turtles may race & the crowds may cheer,
but the prize you seek is not found here.
Though parks abound from lake to lane,
you'll need to wander past turf and train.
A place that welcomes wheels and feet -
This hunt begins where paths & playgrounds mee.

"Old Roots, New Paths"

Some parks wear history like well-loved shoes,
with pines that twinkle and vintage views.
But this year's prize prefers the new -
where dugouts gleam and pickleballs flew.
Trees still stand, but buildings will rise...
keep walking, friend - there's more in disguise.

"Eye on the skies"

A tower stands tall, with metal and might,
but you won't win by climbing great height.
The follow the trail where disc meets chain,
and steps lead up - but not in vain.
Beneath your nose, above your shoes -
you're closer now, so mind your views.

"The long way up"

It's not just snow that crowns this land,
though winter feet may understand.
In summer months, its rarely scaled,
a quiet slope where dreams prevailed.
Your journey ends where few now tread,
a view ahead, just look ahead.

"The future is rising"

Among the fields where girls now play,
a rise awaits the break of day.
Trees at the base will mark your trail,
just past the courts and disc golf tale.
To see the crest is worth the thrill
The medallion waits atop the hill.
