The Allison Wonderland
The Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt is part of the St. Paul Winter Carnival every year. While the prize can only go to one winner, The Allison Wonderland is dedicated to the community spirit of treasure hunting. Here, not only will you find out about the Pre-Dig Gig, the Rehash Bash, and various other social events, but we also discuss the clues here in a team effort to decipher them (albeit not always successfully). This is a place to discuss ideas respectfully, report on what's happening "on the ground", and provide each other with useful information. This is a public group so expect that anything posted will be seen by everyone.

Re: The Hunt for the Golden Beer Can Clue #3
Ha, I just realized I gave my post the wrong title. These are the PP clues.
I heard someone else mention a variation between the paper clue and the online clue, but I couldn't see what difference was?

The Hunt for the Golden Beer Can Clue #3
Sorry, I fell asleep last night.
Clue #1
At last it’s time for vexatious rhyme
To goad you to fortune and fun
Here’s a clue: Something old, something new
Off you go! The race has begun
Clue #2
This is the year of the pioneer
An enterprise first of its kind
An event historic we feel euphoric
Like a park hunter grasping the find
It’s the 175th year since that newsman came here
With his press afloat he did embark
He’s got his own county, a majestic bounty
That he’s got in common with the park
Clue #3
The search for gold never gets old
This year, add beer can and gnome
Sincerest flattery or idle chattery?
Our treasure sits atop the loam.

Re: 2024 Park Pick Pool
I think you may be right about Bald Eagle/Otter Lake Regional Park, David. But not for the connection to Otter Tail County and Goodhue County.
This may be the connection:

Below is from the article:
A few of the other Bald Eagle historical fun facts learned during the presentation included: • The first settlers came in the mid-1800s and most were French, English or German. One of the early settlers worked for the Minnesota Pioneer and promoted the lake in that newspaper.

Re: 2024 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt Clue #2
But I’m still going with 10 on Newell Park.

Re: 2024 Pioneer Press Medallion Hunt Clue #2
There is a Dousman Park on West Goodhue St. in St. Paul.
Re: 2024 Park Pick Pool
I guess I will go 10 on Bald Eagle/Otter Lake for now.
