17th Annual Cooler Crew Pre-Dig Gig
Saturday January 17, 2015
Cherokee Tavern
886 Smith Avenue South
West Saint Paul, MN 55118
7pm-close

Due to a little scheduling mixup with Joseph's, this year we will be re-enacting a bit of treasure hunt history and making a one time venture into West St. Paul as we head across Annapolis St. to Casper's Cherokee Tavern (also known as the Cherokee Sirloin Room). We have a private room reserved there starting at 7pm. Food will be available in the private room from a limited menu and we'll also have a bar.

The Pre Dig Gig is a great way to start off the hunt and get to meet or reconnect with your fellow hunters. In addition to eating, drinking, and socializing, we often have park pools, games, music, a group picture, and lots of wild speculation on the meaning of the first clue. Generally we have over 100 people so it's quite a gathering. If you're new and worried about getting lost in the crowd, just find a place to sit and ask someone where they think the medallion will be this year and you'll be on your way.
