More about the medallion hunt
The medallion is hidden somewhere in the greater Hutchinson city area. It is hidden on public property and will not require digging, climbing, cutting, hammering or any destructive means to retrieve it. Organizers ask that medallion hunters do not intrude on private property or damage trees, shrubbery, buildings or other public or private property.
Clues will be issued daily, at 8:30 a.m. beginning Monday, June 13, on this website. Clues will also be posted at 8:30 a.m. each day at the Hutchinson Leader office at 170 Shady Ridge Road N.W. Bonus clues will be published in the Leader Wednesday and Sunday print editions this week.
To participate in the hunt, you must purchase a Water Carnival button prior to beginning your search. Buttons can be purchased for $3 at participating Water Carnival sponsors. Anyone is eligible to join the hunt, except Hutchinson Leader staff and family, Water Carnival committee members and family, Medallion Hunt Committee members and family.
To be eligible for the prize of $500 from the Hutchinson Leader, the finder of the medallion should call 320-234-4164 between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. The person finding the medallion must present it along with a Water Carnival button to claim the prize. The winner will receive the prize at the Water Carnival Coronation Sunday evening at Hutchinson High School Auditorium.
