 Congratulations to Mary I.! 
She found the Rapids Radio & Rivertown Furniture Medallion!

Mary braved the elements — soaked and cold — but said it was totally worth it for the prize and gift card. 

The medallion was cleverly hidden under the bottom row of bleachers at the King Elementary Baseball Field in Deer River! Great job, Mary!  The Woodland Bank clues are pictured below! 

Thanks to everyone who joined the hunt — stay tuned for more fun to come!

As you see a diamond gleam today,

But of dirt and chalk — our battle zone.

Clue 5

Crowds roar and hearts beat loud,
Cheering voices form a proud crowd.
But hidden from the game-day song,
Beneath the bleachers is where you belong.
Where shadows stretch and footsteps fade,
The medallion rests where light gives way.
