What color is the medallion itself?

Jenny- A baseball does make a lot of sense. They've hidden it in some pretty odd things; like a diaper or a Hostess Cupcake. Last year it was in a Bandana.

The medallion itself is not very big (I think-I've never actually seen it-Boo Hoo)

What you are really looking for is the object that it is hidden in, so look carefully at any object that you find.

Good Luck!

from Mpls, Take 94 east - exit ruth street. Or you can take 94 east to White Bear Ave. Exit.. take a left at the top of the exit...and take that to Wilson, Ruth, Etc. -

and the park is right there. just look for all the traffic and people parked!!!!

Shan Ski- Yes, very frustrated. I look every year and have been at the right park and many times probably walked right over it. They have gotten very specific in the

past on the last few clues, so we'll be in better hunting shape tomorrow (provided it's not found by then)
