INTRODUCTION
Find your fun in the sweltering sun—
The most humid and hazy of summers;
Our main attraction's back in action,
Ready to take on all comers!
Last year's MacGuffin proved a tough 'un
Right down to the final clue,
But Mr. Smith—the man, the myth—
Would claim it for his crew!
This year's quest is a fiendish test—
Deceptively unpretentious;
No radio station or wild goose chasin',
Just you and your wits against us!
So seek out our mark in an area park,
Zig and zag through the grove—
To make the claim and prevail in the game
Of the Great Twin Cities trove!
-

And unearth the mother lode!
