2006 Coon Rapids Snowflake Days Hunt

The Old Timer was in a Daze. He had become hypnotized while looking
for the prize Medallion, through the SNOWFLAKES, as they were falling.
"That's it", he said, "THE HUNT IS ON!!"
Public land, Coon Rapids, prize winner must have a 2006 Snowflake Days Button,
and good searching skills to be able to locate the 2006 Snowflake Days Medallion.
Do not change the right things, just those that are wrong.
Snowflakes trip to work was difficult as well as long.

It must have been a bright, White City, day,
when OLD TIMER PETE lost his weigh?
Sometimes Pete rested along the way.
He thought of a park for kids . . . someday?

Some folks knew Pete as OLD SNOWFLAKE!
because he loved this time of year.
Old Timer would pack a sled
with lunch, dry socks, and all his gear.

Yes, some corrections must be made.
Was his prize lost in the shade?
It is tough to say on a snowy day
when so much white gets in the way.

Hunt high, hunt low,
but cause no damage where you go.
No, damage nothing in your search today,
Look where people have come to play

The place is froze over
study clues with care.
You can win treasure
that is hidden somewhere.

Don't be in a hurry,
get over the hertells.
No need to worry,
just move like turtles.

Down the street to the corner,
Trees, signs, passing carriages, and foot prints,
But should I go leaved or write?
They distract from clues that make cents.

Be it hay or straw, be it bedding or feed
you must figure out what the cart pushers need.
Snowflake knew if the trail should be straight not narrow
the distance is measured by the flight of an arrow.

Old Pete in those Daze, the clues seem to fail
The Old Timer, some how must have took the wrong trail.
The trees, the sand, the chain, the rail
An empty bucket, a barrel, a 'pale or 'dale.

We start at the backdoor sometime in July
and end past the front gate, now give it a try.
Shuffle out warmer now what do you think
the Old Timer went past a hard water drink.

It seemed far from the general store . . . a jiggity jig,
paper or plastic, will I have to dig?
Or stuck on the ground with a one foot twig,
and it seemed far from the door . . . a jiggity jig.

Some shadows be long,
some shadows be short.
Snowflake thought long.
No! The four o'clock sort.

The Sheriff may help you
and give you a sign.
The style that will halt you
and that you must align.

OLD SNOWFLAKE, the old timer, was in a DAZE
As he chanted a jiggity jig informative phrase.
If you stand on the sand in a creek that is unique
On the trail south of dale with the track at your back
and one thing you should know, the four o'clock shadow
from the halt sign which you must align
with the one foot twig, near this you must dig.
This will bring you pleasure when you uncover the treasure

If we make some concessions and you look to the east
You must curb your enthusiasm at the very least.
Then with all your heart you should dig deep,
for the second searcher there is truly going to weep.
With the tracks an arrows flight away,
someone will find the treasure today.
