2008 St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion

Submitted by KITCH on

Medallion Hotline 651-228-5547 

 


Clue #1 You've joined the hunt for the regal runt 
To prove searching does pay 
Don't dig a hole or knock down a pole 
And the golf course is out of play 

Last year Jake took home the cake 
With a clue a bit off level 
This year we'll rinse off all our prints 
Lest this hunt go to the devil 

Clue #2 The point of all this is so that you won't miss 
Your big chance to grab all the cash 
Now gather your guys and a gal who is wise 
You'll have to do something quite rash 

Clue #3 We've scanned the county to hide our bounty 
And keep you on your toes 
It may sound risible, but our puck's invisible 
Although it might just stick to your nose. 

Clue #4 How fun is the snow how far will we go 
You really ought to go see 
Get up for the mission and not just the wishin' 
Get into the game-it's all free 

Clue #5 There once was a clue that drove you-know-who 
To threaten a heinous act 
We'd use it again but we're afraid of his pen 
My friend, that's an unfortunate fact 

Clue #6 All ye who look should honor the book 
As one who stood for hope 
Much was built in the name of the kilt 
Look sharp now and never mope 

Clue #7 If you should go look high then low 
One could see it from a bower 
If it's your bent you might seek a tent 
To protect in case of shower 

Take note of the wood and do what you should 
To extract the prize for yourself 
Build a bridge to your dreams as high as they seem 
Leave nothing behind on the shelf 

Clue #8 Look at the buck to acquire good luck 
In finding the grail this year 
Link a jar,a line, a star lawyer divine 
While crying in your beer 

He won, then lost and the nation was tossed 
Into strife that was far from civil 
The point I'm making is yours for the taking 
Believe me - not the message board drivel 

Clue #9 This name brings tears, elation and cheers 
And occasionally even outrages 
It sits on walls and rides the halls 
And fills a dozen pages 

The hills are alive and you'll have arrived 
Refrain from the very injurious 
Be bold and be brave but your skin you must save 
What's off-limits should frankly be obvious 

Clue #10 Look for the sight you hope is just right 
You're doubtful and you're torn 
Make the rounds for what rhymes with grounds 
And part of a rose with a horn 

Through flames and flow this park where you'll go 
Is the site of sacred relics 
Stay away from these and the cliffs if you please 
Or you'll be in a heckuva fix 

Clue #11 Air and river sounds lead all to Mounds 
Far from the graves take your entourage 
Twixt Burns and Thorn, an icy pathway is born 
Across Mounds from a gray house and tan garage 

Hell no fury hath as those on the wrong path 
Mounds and Warner form a woodsy perimeter 
The path not official contains footprints beneficial 
Some 300 trudges in - quest for a quitter 

This trail you must follow goes down a narrow hollow 
Under a fallen tree to an old rusted drum 
From here you must search for a hillside path perch 
Wherein lies the center of fun

Well after slipping in the back door so Lumberg doesn't see me then I usually sit at my desk and blank out for a couple of hours. I complete about 15 minutes of real work in a day. This counts for 10 minutes of it!

I can't believe I got the joe tri-fecta with the 999-1000-1001. I was hoping to get just one.

I'm in trouble!!!!!

I can't seem to stop checking the board and the hunt hasn't even started! What the heck am I going to do once we get the first clue?

Hey you all...

I was just wondering if anyone remembers the fellow

who brought the gas chain saw to Wakefield park in Maplewood

because he was convinced the puck was up in the tree!

The Cooler Crew hopes that tim_the_hunter finds this year's medallion

Me too, finding last year's medallion would be a bummer.

Well, given where it is, at the very least, it'd be kind of gross.

Oh yeah, that was last years. Oops.

Ok, so after the first hunt they announced that their would be a second hunt right away. Do you think they impromptu hid another one that night and stayed up all night writing a new very lengthy clue or do they hide 2 every year?

Same here. ESD too :cool:

I was just looking on the press boards and the same question was just posed.
Tue, 01/15/2008 - 10:48 AM Permalink
tim_the_hunter

I think they went and hid it as soon as they got it confirmed that Jake had found the first one, before he even came down to the PP to turn it in.

Good call, since it was a different medallion!

tim_the_hunter

I remember one of the people in the back room with Jake came out and leaked to me they thought there would be a 2nd hunt. My first reaction was to go park outside the PP employee lot and trail the first car out of it. I didn't do it though, obviously.

When Jake and I were upstairs going over the story and taking photos b4 the press conference they were talking about it then. They were saying there was a good chance but they didn't commit to it until the live conference.

Just checking to see if I've got my Daves mixed up or not - are you the Dave who brought the catapult to the 1999 re-hash bash at Conway Park?

Jello Kitch, Me2, My Master and Eags. Did I miss anyone one? I'm sorry if I did, I didn't slog every single message.

Got my buttons today. Now to register. Even knowing better, I get all xcited registering them all figuring it will help find The Med or at least get me one or more consolation prizes. Nope. No shame here. If numbers could do it I'd have no compunction stuffing the ballot. Not if it would get me The Med.

Ohmygosh! I haven't done anything about getting a button, much less getting it registered.

tim_the_hunter

I registered button 1609, 1610, 1611, and 1612.

And print screened them all. Then emailed the photos to myself, and saved them on photobucket.

This is my online registration version of mailing the postcards from 4 different mailboxes on 4 different days.
