An image of what this year’s medallion looks like.
Get out those magnifying glasses and maps as the Burnsville Fire Muster Medallion Hunt prepares to launch Tuesday, Sept. 4.
Of course, cell phones and global positioning systems also are tools of the trade for this year’s hunt, which can to last six days unless someone finds the medallion before then.
The winner or winners will receive a prize package worth over $500, including gift cards from the Roasted Pear, Abdallah, Chinese Gourmet Restaurant, The Look Salon, Paragon Odyssey 15, The Honeybaked Ham Company, Porter Creek Hardwood Grill, Rack Shack BBQ and Grand Slam Party Headquarters.
Even though the hunt will officially begin at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4, the first clue will be posted at 8 a.m. on www.SunThisweek.com at the Burnsville Fire Muster Medallion Hunt Clue Central. Subsequent clues will be posted at 8 a.m. each day until Sunday or the medallion is found.
The winner will be posted on Sun Thisweek’s website within one hour of confirmation.
The medallion, which will say Burnsville Fire Muster on it, will be hidden outdoors in plain sight at a public facility in the city of Burnsville. People won’t have to destroy or alter park property in order to find the medallion. Any trespassing or destruction of property while searching for medallion will disqualify participants. Participants must obey open hours of public parks.
People who find the medallion should call (952) 894-1111.
The first person to find the medallion and bring it to SunThisweek’s Apple Valley office will win the prize package.
