2015 Big Lake Spud Fest Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Joe Medallion (not verified) on Tue, 06/16/2015 - 11:19 AM

The Spud Fest Medallion has been found and a mother and son walk away with $150 in their pockets.

Pat Mattson and her son, Quinten, found the medallion Friday in Browns Park. It was hidden under the trash can.

Chiropractor Dr. Scott Schulz of Great River Spine and Sport, which sponsors the medallion hunt, presented the Mattsons with their prize Wednesday morning.

Clues to the medallions whereabouts were posted in the paper each week and on the window of the GRSS office each week.

If the Mattsons did not have a Spud Fest button, available for $1 from any Big lake Ambassador or Ambassador candidate, their prize would only have been $50.
