2019 Dan Patch Days Horseshoe Hunt
Primary tabs
Clues are given out each week that lead to the location of a special horseshoe hidden somewhere on "public property" within the City of Savage boundaries. Whoever finds the horseshoe and has a 2019 Dan Patch Days button wins $100. The lucky winner also gets to keep the commemorative horseshoe.
2019 Dan Patch Days buttons are available at Savage City Hall and the Savage Library.
Each Friday, clues for the horseshoe hunt will be available here by 9 p.m. on this web site (www.danpatch.com). This is the only place the clues will be available online. Clues will also be published in the Saturday print edition of the Savage Pacer newspaper.
To maintain the interest and integrity of the horseshoe hunt, the following members, spouses and minor children are NOT eligible to participate in the hunt: Dan Patch Historical Society board members, Dan Patch Days Inc. committee members and Savage Pacer newspaper employees. Also, there will not be any back-to-back winners.
**Anyone who believes they've found Dan's shoe, please CONTACT US (and Please leave a contact number, we will follow up ASAP.
Laura & Rick spent time in the Heritage Room at the Savage Public Library & researched George names in our history & came across George Egan and other references in the clues that led them early to Hidden Valley Park.
The use of the name George was also a shout out to George Augustinack, who has always made our buttons and sadly passed away this past year.
After combing nearly every inch of the park, Laura & Rick were rewarded. They also each had a button and can claim the $100 prize!
