2026 Somerset Pea Soup Days Medallio Hunt

In Somerset each year we search 

So far and wide, from school to church 

Medallion, hidden with skill, 

Or so we thought! A bitter pill 

We swallow each sad summer when 

Within two weeks it's found again! 

Roll up your sleeves, this year won't be 

An easy find, so I decree! 

This first week, all that I will say 

Is you can find it in the Milky Way, 

Upon the third rock from a star, 

Are you following so far? 

On planet Earth is your best bet, 

In Wisconsin cast your net. 

More than that? Now don't get greedy. 

This year's hunt will not be speedy.

None of these clues make much sense, 

 I hate these poems, they’re much too dense. 

 The first was really just a joke, 

 To throw you off or make you choke. 

 The medallion is of course on Earth, 

 It tells the truth for what it’s worth. 

 The second was like Doctor Seuss, 

 This clue writer’s a silly goose. 

 But certain words are useful still, 

 Notice gravel, trees, and hill. 

 The third clue was the strangest yet, 

 Some metaphor to make you sweat. 

 What flying saucers might you find 

 In the last letter of each line? 

 And now we come to number four, 

 So get your shoes and out the door! 

 Get into nature, look around 

 At what great structures can be found.

In this place you’ll see a flower, 

 When it rains it’s like a shower, 

 Still has pressure when there’s no power, 

 That massive structure is a... 

 Watch your step or squish a toad, 

 Hope this grassy hill’s been mowed, 

 Do you understand this code? 

 When you drive it’s on a... 

 Searching with your son or daughter, 

 Watch your step, you just might totter, 

 Hope you brought a good fly swatter? 

 Mosquitos like to live by... 

 This nature area you must scour, 

 Quick, before your chances sour! 

Find it in this final hour, 

Search around the big grey…
