2023 Woodbury Days Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Administrator on

Woodbury Days medallion hunt is on & the prize is bigger thanks to the Woodbury Lions

Woodbury Days takes place Aug. 18-20, and preceding the city festival is the annual medallion hunt, sponsored by the Woodbury Lions. Mathias Baden of Edina Realty-Baden Real Estate Group writes the clues to find the medallion in a park or public land in Woodbury.

The lucky finder of the medallion will receive a prize of $1,000 cash if the finder has a Woodbury Days Button of Savings, or $500 of the prize without a button.

Medallion hunters are asked to immediately call 612-327-1748 when the medallion is found. For more information on the Woodbury Days Button or to find out if the medallion has been found, visit www.woodburydays.com.

The first clue will be released Thursday, Aug. 10. Additional clues will be revealed daily through Saturday, Aug. 19, or until the treasure is found. There is no longer a medallion hunt phone hotline.
Clues 1-8 will be released online only, at 6:30 p.m. on www.woodburydays.com.
Clues 9-10, if necessary, will be released early in-person at Woodbury Days in front of the Ojibway Park Building and then they will be posted online.

Hunt rules also include:

  • The finder of the Woodbury Days Medallion agrees to be photographed, and gives express permission for Woodbury Days and Woodbury Lions to use the finder’s likeness for marketing purposes.
  • Those with a close affiliation to the City of Woodbury, Woodbury Lions Club, Woodbury Days Council, or Baden Real Estate Group are ineligible to find the medallion or win the prize.
  • For safety reasons, the medallion will not be hidden in Eagle Valley Golf Course, the Splash Pad at Madison’s Place Playground, inside Central Park, fields at M Health Fairview Sports Center, Andy’s Bark Park, the Carver Lake Off-road Cycling Trail, the Carver Lake Bike Park nor the Skate Park at Ojibway Park.
  • The medallion will be hidden in a city owned park or public land. You will not need to enter private property to find the medallion.
  • Search, but do not destroy or damage any property. You will not need to dig, climb, bend, or break any object to find the medallion.
  • Individuals may not win more than once.
  • The purpose of the Woodbury Days Medallion hunt is to promote city parks and public land in a positive way, in anticipation of the city festival. Be respectful of city property and other medallion hunters. Stay off private property.

Good luck!

Caring for kids is what Lions do
They're out on the golf course
Not fund raising at the zoo

When Monday's Tourney is done
Silent auction and camaraderie
All of that sounds really fun

And it's for a good cause
Money spent on childhood cancer
Should give us all pause

Deep in the hearts of this fine
Service club is a need to bridge \
Any abyss that is yours or mine

The hunt ahs started now
For ight- and heavy-hearted
Search urgently, 'fore parks get a mow

Let's wrap this thing up
Early, haven't found it yet
Don't be a Grinch or his pup

Get a buddy to help in a pinch
Let's try again - together
You'll find it in a cinch

You should be out in Environments
Have you searched the park buildings?
And all nearby abutments?

From Lions Bandshell you could shout
Or check shelters at Powers and Carver
Nope - let's count those three out!

It would be way too easy
To holler on the Lions' sound system
"Where is that medallion? You're making me queasy!"

Do you know that here there is hunger?
Now search for that puck
You're not getting any younger

Lions recognize that there are families in need
Even in Woodbury with its perfect facade
Warning signs we must heed

People are hurting
And Lions are helping
Truth is not worth skirting

Formed a Vision for Woodbury
That includes this medallion-hiding vargus

I'm so proud to be a Lion
For years upon years upon years
If you can find it, just keep tryin'

Giving free eye screenings to kids
Where there's a need there's a Lion with celerity

Move Northwest from your old Mindset
If you want to have peace
And the mediallion you'll soon get

Every year Lions posters are made
By kids with a dream
That their vision of peace will cascade

Just by drawing their artwork
Middle schoolers share their goodwill
A blessing by their hard work

If you love your veterans and USA
Why don't you come
With the Lions and play?

Five big monkeys climbing n the tree
The little one fell out
And skinned his knee

Mama called the doctor, who adamantly decreed:
"Why'd you hide the medallion
Under the little tree?"

For years we fund raised
For a military Salute
Not home yet,this clue is glazed
