WCCO interviewed a bunch of Coolerheads at the ABB on January 18. The stories will be featured on the January 20 morning news show, once in the 5am hour and once in the 6am hour, and possibly on Saturday morning. A separate story on Rob and Jake is planned for January 23, while one about Clue Master and his "tools" is planned for later in the week if the hunt goes that far. We'll be updating this story with the video links as they are posted.
This year there are some interesting new twists on the Treasure Hunt.
For starters, the Pioneer Press is giving away the medallion used in the past 5 treasure hunts as a contest prize. We all have a chance to own a real piece of treasure hunt history.
Second, we all know about the move to Gabe's for the official release of the nightly newspaper. The newspaper will be released at 11:30 each night at Gabe's by the Park at Lexington and Energy Park Drive near Como Park. The clues will be available online at 11:30pm, with a special "scrambled" version available online one hour earlier each night.
Finally, 1000 miniature medallions will be hidden in Parks in Ramsey County. each of these medallions is good for free admission to the "Real Pirates" exhibit at the Science Museum, which opens on February 18.
Details can be found at the Pioneer Press.
