Crystal Frolics time is here.
Our most favorite time of year.
Festivities are at Welcome & Becker Park,
During the day and well into dark.
We extend an invite to one & all
To join in the search for the Crystal Ball.
Find the ball and wear your pin.
This is a must, if you want to win!
Buy your button for a $3.00 fee,
At Almsted’s or the Community Center.
Purchase buttons to join the Search for the ball.
Register the button according to directions,
So you can collect the prize without rejections.
Search by day and not by night,
Stay off private land, please be polite!
Search only on land owned by the City
To trespass elsewhere would be a pity.
Stay out of water, make no mistake.
You don’t need to swim or jump in a lake,
You won’t need a shovel for this gig.
We won’t hide it where you need to dig.
Out in the open or in a disguise,
$500.00 in local gift cards is the prize.
For this donation, we need to thank,
The generous people at Associated Bank.
Around 8:00 a.m. (that’s morning not night),
Check for clues at the following sites.
On park buildings at Becker and Valley Place
You will find the clues to begin this race.
You may also try Welcome, Associated Bank or the CCC
All good locations - get there ASAP.

In the realm of numbers, can be found,
Beyond this mark, is where answers abound.
A value of mystery, reaching ever more high.

In a Hitchhiker's Guide, they say it's true.
The secret to life, the universe, and all we pursue!

In the azure realm, I make my home,
With curious grace, I gently glide.
No galloping hooves, nor flowing mane,

A father unique, I bear the weight,
Precious eggs, a loving trait.

In gardens deep, I quietly rest,
Where waste and time, together invest.

I transform with glee, that's plain to see.
