Submitted by Administrator on

The Medallion Hunt has been a KDHL Radio tradition during Faribault's Heritage Days for decades.

Clues begin Wednesday, June 10, 2026.

Listed are the rules of the hunt.

 
 

Medallion must be on public property in Faribault.  When you locate the Chappuis Jewelers of Faribault handcrafted silver medallion decorated by Star Sports and Apparel bring it to the KDHL studios at 601 Central Avenue.

You must be wearing a 2026 Faribault Heritage Days button to receive the prize package worth approximately $500.  It includes four Minnesota Twins tickets and $250 cash.  If you are not wearing a button you receive $25 cash.

Employees and their immediate family members of Townsquare Media, Chappuis Jewelers and Star Sports and Apparel are not eligible to win.

The Medallion will be located on public property.  Note churches are not public property.

You get a head start on the competition by listening to KDHL 920 AM, 97.9 FM, or checking www.kdhlradio.com for the clues.

Each day the clues will be delivered first during the 7:05 a.m. News Report.  They will be posted on the KDHL website 7:30 a.m.

Here's another tip to get a jump on the competition.  Download the FREE KDHL app and access the website instantly.

In addition, the clues will be displayed in the front window of KDHL Radio, 601 Central Avenue, Faribault, Mn. at 8:30 a.m.

The clues will be given on KDHL several times throughout the day, most notably during each of the major newscasts.  7:05 am, 8:05 am, 12:05pm, 5:05pm, 6:05 p.m.

The evening newscasts may be pre-empted by sports broadcasts.

Another hint for all sleuths is to know your Faribault history.
