The Hunt for the Medallion
On Public Land in North St. Paul
Monday through Friday, February 3 - 7, 2003

Old time North St. Paul resident and a man whose favorite event was Snow Frolics, Lloyd Koesling, spent a great deal of time and effort in writing the clues and hiding the medallion for the original Snow Frolics Celebrations.

Unfortunately, the original medallion is lost, but we now have a new one thanks to the skill of Jim Hunt from Custom Handling.

Jeff Koesling will be carrying on his Father's tradition by writing the clues and hiding the medallion for the festival

The medallion will be hidden on public land within the boundaries of North St. Paul. All are invited to join in on the search. This event is sponsored by local businesses. If you have a Snow Frolics Button, it increases the amount of the Grand Prize "Key to the City Gift Certificate".

Clues will be posted on the web site daily after 8:00 a.m. starting on Monday, February 3 with the final clue posted on Friday, February 7. Clues will also be available at City Hall, The Community Center, Mac's Dinette, La Garage, the North St. Paul Antique Mall and Newmann's Bar.

The prize will be awarded at the Noon Snowman Ceremony on Saturday, February 8.
