2022 New London Water Days Medallion Hunt

Hello WaterDays Peeps, the time has come,
To celebrate once again!
An exciting time to be hanging out,
Among a great community of friends.

There’s a couple of things, most worthy of saying.
I guess like a set of rules.
I need you to follow them and to play nice,
The prize-you don’t want to lose!

You won’t need to dig or destroy anything,
When you find me in my current space.
You just need to keep your eyes on the prize,
And be respectful during the race.

West Central Trophies made me golden again,
Chappell Central sponsored some ca$h.
United Minnesota and Lake Region banks,
Also donated to make it a stash!

$200 is my stated worth,
Along with a ton of great fun!
So hit the ground running and don’t hesitate,
You won’t be the only one!

What's in a clue, you might ask,
Not much in the first ones you say.
But look at the words, frame them in mind,
I'm trying not to give it away!
.
I see slivers of daylight,
As eastern sun rises.
I get the excitement,
Of $200 prizes!
.
Be patient my friends,
Sometimes it takes practice,
Take note of the view,
And look for my access.
.
Come take a gamble,
And look for me here,
I'm among you in town,
You're really quite near.

WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING,
I'VE NOT SEEN YOU A ROUND.
THE SHADOWS ARE LURKING,
OVER ME AND THE GROUND.

AS NIGHT TIME COMES CALLING,
ITS DARK IN THE EAST,
AND BECAUSE I'M SOUTH FACING
I SEE THE SUN LEAST!

I CAN'T SEEM TO TAN,
NO MATTER THE TRY,
IF ONLY YOU'D SEE ME
EACH TIME YOU WALK BY.

YOU'VE WALKED RIGHT BY ME,
NOT SEEN ME AT ALL?
WITH EVERYONE PASSING,
I'M HAVING A BALL!

THERE'S HOLES IN YOUR THINKING,
ONE, TWO AND THREE,
IT'S WHY I'M STILL HIDDEN,
HOW CAN THIS BE?
