No digging instruments will be needed to find the Medallion. Be safe! Search, don’t destroy!

The hunt may be discontinued if people are found using shovels, rakes, or anything else that may damage city property. The hunt may be discontinued at any time if public property is being destroyed or if hunters are on private property.

Good luck and happy Kaposia Days!

Clue 2

A German duo caught committing lip crimes
But in one song lies a message sublime
When they said “I’ll be there for you”
It’s the very next line that will provide the clue

As you sing along in our merry game
Destruction is bad it’s always the same
Don’t disturb a bush or a flower
And look up and see a couple of towers

The official meaning of the clue.

This intentionally difficult clue makes reference to the German tandem Milli Vanilli and their song Don’t Forget My Number. After the line “I’ll be there for you” they then sing “I’ve been searching high”, which tells you to search High at an elevated park, which is Grandview Park.

The second verse tells you not to disturb a bush or flower And that destruction is not necessary to find the medallion. The last line makes reference to a couple of water towers Off in the distance.

Generic clues are usually no fun
But our park offers no place to run
A place to play and places to sit
And also to stand if you want to stay fit

The official meaning of the clue.

A generic clue referencing the playground, park benches, and overlook at Grandview Park.

Kept confidential so nobody would see
How money is split from prize and TV
It’s just One Formula for the race to be
