    Medallion Hunt Clues

    The 2013 Medallion Hunt is under way. Follow the clues to find the medallion and win the $200 prize! 

    Clue #1

    North-South-East-West
    Which of you can hunt the best?

    The rules abide, the clues devour
    If you aspire to victory, use brain power.

    Posted will be the clues each day
    Listen to what they have to say.

    Thus the plan will be revealed.

    Don't dig, destroy or deface
    But keep on pushing to keep the pace.

    Clue #2

    Jolly Old Chris, he knew best
    Leaving behind all the rest.

    For life's variety, you must struggle
    While the rules, you must juggle.

    At the commencement Merry (& Bill) could not fly
    So a search, they did try.

    I say go, as did Tom, a noble quest
    There's much to gain
    now is not the time to rest

    The shepherd, he minds his flock
    Sharing, caring, he does rock.

    Clue #3

    Daddy works, Mommy too.
    Working, working, all for you.

    Food and baseball, Summer's delight,
    What you seek is close to sight.

    Louis and Henry gave us both
    Boon and bane--to part, we're loath.

    Solve these clues for proximity
    The medallion is in the close vicinity.

    Clue #4

    As you seek, so you'll find
    The medallion is one of a kind.

    Nearby you'll find your goal
    If your hunger you do control.

    When Magi call and children spy,
    The gift gaily comes--veiled to the eye.

    If the smell of charcoal you sniff,
    Closely look to find your prize in a jif!

    Clue #5

    Look left, then right and follow your nose
    Is this a walk that nowhere goes?

    Black and white and shades of beige
    Is winning the goal or just the rage?

    Football heroes will if you let them
    Even in the movies, they Bend like Beckham.

    Look up, then down and finally below
    See the encased treasure, your eyes will glow.

    Notes and spaces, a melody you'll sing
    Protection from detection is no longer it's thing.

    Now that you have it bring it to me--
    $200- happy you'll be!
