Congratulations to me2 and ThoseMedallingKids on their recent hunt finds. Me2 found the North Saint Paul Snow Frolics medallion on Feb. 9, 2006, and turned it in for $400 in Snow Frolics dollars. TMK turned in the Coon Rapids Snowflakes Days Medallion on Feb. 19, 2006. It ended up being worth $350 in cash for him.

6pm Clue Release

So the hunt is over and you didn't even get to go out yet to look? Well you don't need to totally despair. The 7th Annual Allison Wonderland Mock Hunt will be coming up. Granted the prize is not as big, but it's still a fun chance to get out and search for some treasure with your fellow hunters!

We'll kick it off on Sunday, February 12th. The clues come out daily at 6pm. On the 12th we'll have a kickoff party at Fabulous Fern's in St. Paul starting at 5pm.

The hunt will work similar to what we did last year. You can pay $10 to be a registered hunter with the money going towards the pot. If you find it, you get a $500 prize. If you are not a registered hunter and you find it, you get a $100 prize. Any prize money that is left over will get rolled over into the pot for whoever runs the next mock hunt. The winner of the mock hunt also gets the option of being the person to run the next hunt, or they can designate someone else.

Clues will be posted on this Yahoo group, though I suppose I could post them elsewhere as well if people wanted. This hunt has been a lot of fun in the past and we've gotten some pretty good participation (especially in 2002 which was a year similar to this).

The easiest way to get me the money is to come to the kickoff party on the 12th. Also, it doesn't have to be cash. If you'd rather, you can contribute prizes worth $10 or more. If you can't make the party, you can send me an email and I'll give you an address to send a check to or you can use Paypal at my AllisonWondrland@yahoo email.

This could be a big year for the mock hunt so be sure to get involved!
