2013 Roseville Golden Rose Medallion Hunt

Once again, it is time during Rosefest,
To begin the search, a special little quest.
No GPS will be needed to find the prize,
A medallion will be found if you are wise.
In a City Park this medallion can be found,
You may have to begin searching around.
It won’t be at Oasis, Villa, Acorn, or Pioneer,
The Golf Course, Arboretum, and Nature Center are clear.

No digging is necessary to discover the gold,
With a keen eye, the wealth is yours to hold.
“But where should I look?” you may wonder,
Not high, look low; not over, look under.
And never will it be required for your feet,
To leave the ground they so often meet.

But where oh where can the medallion be?
I’ll mention it now, perhaps near a tree.
It might just be wise to take a hard look,
In a well hidden place, perhaps in a nook.
Look beyond the biggest tree in the park,
Within the smaller pines, near the bark

Playgrounds in abundance may be found,
Throughout the neighborhoods around.
It would be clever to look for this place,
If you ever want to win this race.
In a park where you could play ball,
You won't find it near the field at all.

Long ago a lady wandered the land,
Up until John Smith held her hand.
Look in the place that's got her name,
And you may be the victor of this game.

If still the treasure has not been found,
Pocahontas is the name of the ground.
Look in the direction to see the sunrise,
Past the playground you'll find the prize.
