2016 City of New Richmond Medallion Hunt

Submitted by Joe Medallion (not verified) on

The City of New Richmond Medallion Hunt is open to participants of all ages. No entry fee or registration is required. The medallion will be found on PUBLIC property within city limits. Please be respectful of others' property as well as your fellow "medallion hunters." No digging up soil or climbing is necessary to find the medallion. It may be carefully camouflaged or hidden within something easily accessible and not requiring disassembly. Please be watchful for poison ivy, poison oak, slippery terrain, and sharp rocks or brush.

Clues will be posted on the City of New Richmond's Facebook and/or Twitter pages. Not all clues will be posted in both locations. Additional clue locations within the community may also be announced. The Park System Plan and the Parks and Trails Map may also prove to be useful resources. Both documents are found on the City website. Clues will be posted beginning Monday, March 21 and continuing each day until the medallion is found. If you find the medallion, please return it to the Civic Center, located at 156 East First Street, between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm.

Have fun and good luck!

Take a long walk, and look for a large lonesome tree. There's no need to climb - you'll find the medallion less than 3 feet off the ground.
