Belle Plaine’s 2019 Shamrock Medallion Hunt begins with the accompanying clue below.
The medallion is hidden within the city limits (not north of the railroad tracks). It is located on public property and is not more than 6 feet off the ground. It’s also not located on the historical house property or inside the Tiger Park baseball field.
The medallion is about 2 inches in diameter and has “Belle Plaine St. Patrick’s Day” inscribed on it. The prize for finding it is $100.
The Shamrock Medallion Hunt is a community event. Participants do not need to be of Irish descent. If you find it, call Don Meger at 952-454-6492.
If the medallion is not found this week, a second clue will be published in next Wednesday’s Herald (March 6). A third clue, if necessary, will appear March 13.
This year’s parade and festivities will take place Saturday, March 16.
Any Belle Plaine High Junior-Senior School girls of Irish descent interested in becoming a candidate for Miss Shamrock are asked to contact the school office or call Jeanette Gloege at 952-873-6684. Applications can be picked up at BPHS. The deadline for signing up is March 1.
