The three-day Woodbury Days festival runs Aug. 25-28, but the annual medallion hunt already is underway.
The medallion hunt is co-sponsored by the Woodbury Bulletin and Anchor Bank of Woodbury.
Clues leading searches to the medallion will be released daily through Woodbury Days, or until the medallion is found. (Clues will not be posted on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 19- 20.)
Visit Anchor Bank, 1920 Donegal Drive in Woodbury, to read the clue by 9 a.m. each day.
Call the Woodbury Bulletin's hotline for the medallion hunt at 651-319-4488, where hunters may listen to a voice recording of the most current clue after 11 a.m. daily. Clues will also be posted on woodburybulletin.com at 11 a.m. each release day.
The prize is $500, courtesy of Anchor Bank of Woodbury. The winner is guaranteed the first half of the prize. The second half of the prize is secured when the medallion is returned by a Woodbury Days button holder and the winner calls 651-702-0973 to alert the Woodbury Bulletin. (If the medallion is found outside regular business hours, call 651-248-7197 or email news@rivertowns.net.)
Anchor Bank will present the prize. Any winner who doesn't have the Button of Savings will receive only $250 of the prize, courtesy of Anchor Bank.
Return the medallion to the bank, during weekday business hours 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays to claim the prize.
