It's time once more to strike out on a search,
the Maple Grove Medallion Hunt begins!
The rules herein are plainly laid in verse,
read carefully to have your chance to win.

Six weeks the search is on until it's found,
the medal will be plain for all to see,
no climbing, and not buried underground,
no taking things apart, no lock or key.

The hiding place will be within this zone:
a park within the bounds of Maple Grove,
under the care of city Parks & Rec,
no other will contain this treasure trove.

A button must be purchased to partake,
without one not a soul can claim the prize,
stay tuned for clues, they'll come out once a week,
rewarding sharpened wit, and eagle eyes.

If it's not found before the weeks are done,
the only prize you'll get is searching fun.
But for the clever victor waits the sum,
Five-hundred dollars for the champion!

The Parks & Trails online map, an arrow in your quiver, the quadrant readily discerned – garbanzos and beef liver.  The ancient elven canopies to Dubnos mark the way, speak their name and you will find the grounds where children play.

The path lies close, bituminous, winding throughout nature, in fields nearby the kids bump hips – Ojibwe nomenclature. This medallion hunt is tough as tar, like hunting for a needle, look for a place to seal your hull, a sticky-fingered deal.
