2022 Champlin Father Hennepin Festival Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Joe Medallion (not verified) on Mon, 04/04/2022 - 8:12 AM

Champlin, it's true, the Speedway Medallion hunt is finally over! Help us congratulate Aaron. Despite rumors, he confirms no digging was involved. It was hidden on the upper Mill Pond, at the stairs of the pedestrian bridge, under a loose weed. All seekers had to do was lift the weed to the side and there it lie.

Thank you to all who participated in 2022 and special thanks again to Champlin Speedway for sponsoring this fun annual event and gifting the winner $500!

The hunt is back and better than ever
and to find where I'm hiding you'll have to be quite clever
Before we get started, there's a few rules to set
No digging, no climbing, and no need to get wet

This year will be different, like never before
Although some things are worth saying a little more
Step off private property, the cemetery, and schools
You also won't need to use any tools.
