Crystal Frolics time is here.
Our most favorite time of year.
Festivities are held at Welcome Park,
This move we made wasn’t a lark.
Don’t go to Becker, it’s under construction.
You probably already made that deduction
We extend an invite to one & all
To join in the search for the Crystal Ball.
Find the ball and wear your pin.
This is a must, if you want to win!
Buy your button for a $2.00 fee,
At many locations, including the CCC.
Almsted’s, VFW & City Hall -
Purchase buttons here for the Search for the ball.
Register the button according to directions
So you can collect the prize without rejections.
Search by day and not by night,
Stay off private land, please be polite!
Search only on land owned by the City
To trespass elsewhere would be a pity.
Stay out of water, make no mistake.
You don’t need to swim or jump in a lake,
You won’t need a shovel for this gig.
We won’t hide it where you need to dig.
Out in the open or in a disguise,
$500.00 in local gift cards is the prize.
For this donation, we need to thank,
The generous people at Associated Bank.
Around 8:00 a.m. (that’s morning not night),
Check for clues at a following site.
On park buildings at Welcome and Valley Place
You will find the clues to begin this race.
You may also try Associated Bank or the CCC
All good locations - get there ASAP.

A year of change, some big some small,
But the hunt continues for the crystal ball.
From the groundbreaking at Becker, to the Crystal Frolics at Welcome,
It's time to get out to a park, to bend it like Beckham.
Soccer, picnic, disc golf, baseball,
Playgrounds, yoga, nature strolls,
Something for everyone, all in all.
Enjoy the parks, the hunt begins, and now underway
Who knows, with some work in all that play,
It could be you who finds the prize.
It could be anyone who gets out there and tries.

"Nobody else can live the life you live"
It's up to you to get out, to join the fun
Enjoy each park, one by one.
Can you follow your internal compass?
You can have barrels of fun,
If you are heading in the right direction.
Say hello to those you pass, to make a great connection.
One more day, with one more clue,
You've got this, you junior gumshoe.

This is the day you've all been waiting for.
The final clue to help you score!
The crustal ball could be in and, wouldn't that be grand.
If this park had a sign, Gemini would do fine.
You've been searching so hard these last couple days,
Playing hard in the parks, and catching the rays,
And it's certainly possible, not to see the forest for the trees
But don't think its Becker, I hope you haven't this far.
As the hunt dwindles down, in our wonderful town
It's time to reflect on your journey so far,
Which can certainly be done from wherever you are!
To the south of the beach not as far as you Pier
I think it could be on the cutting edge this year
