The 2023 February Festival Medallion hunt will begin Monday, January 30 at 9:00 a.m. Clues will be posted on this webpage at 9:00 a.m. each weekday beginning January 30 and ending February 3, or whenever the medallion is found. The winner of the hunt will receive a prize pack valued at over $500!

Special thanks to Nicolet National Bank (formerly Charter Bank) for sponsoring this year’s medallion hunt.

 Medallion Hunt Rules

  1. The medallion will be hidden in a Chanhassen city-owned park. These spaces are open to the public from 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Please conduct your search during these regular park hours.
  2. Search, but do not destroy or damage any property. The City of Chanhassen reserves the right to discontinue the hunt if the property becomes damaged. The medallion will not be hidden underground, or under any skating surface; nor will it be hidden at a height requiring special equipment to find it. A shovel may be useful if it is buried in the snow, but a metal detector is not needed as the medallion is acrylic.
  3. Clue #1 will be posted on Monday, January 30 at 9:00 a.m. New clues will be posted daily at 9:00 a.m. and can be found on this webpage and on the front door of Nicolet National Bank (formally Charter Bank) in Chanhassen at 455 Pond Promenade.
  4. If the medallion is not found by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, February 3, the City of Chanhassen reserves the right to discontinue the hunt and donate the prize to a local charity.
  5. All participants agree that the City of Chanhassen and its medallion hunt partners and sponsors will have no liability and will be held harmless by participants for any injuries, losses, or damages sustained while participating in the medallion hunt.
  6. Employees of the City of Chanhassen and medallion hunt organizers and immediate family members are not eligible to win.
  7. If you find the medallion:
    1. Take a photo of the location where you found it and a photo of you with the medallion at the site
    2. Call 952-227-1122 or come to Chanhassen City Hall at 7700 Market Blvd. (open 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., M-F) to confirm your win and claim your prize.

I can hear the 'glub, glub' of fishies in the distance
In order to find me, you’ll need persistence
I’m hiding, I’m waiting for a friend
I’ll just be sitting here until the end.

Now this hunt is in full bloom
To find me, shake off that winter gloom!

If this was summer, I’d swing and play
Now I wait in the north while your search is underway

Clue 6

At this park, the trail does wind
You must know to read between the lines
If you don’t find me soon, there might be discord
And you’ll need to go back to the drawing board.
