Clues
Clue #1
Published on Saturday, July 27, 2002
On a lark we hid a prize in a park
Don't think too hard about what this means.
As summer wanes, bring out the canes
Before temperatures reach the teens.
Explanation:
As opposed to being hidden on a trail or near the community center, our prize is hidden in a park: "Cans" refers to the small walking path in the park.

Clue #2
Published on Thursday, July 28, 2022
Looking for a house? Don't be a louse;
Metzen Realty has you covered!
They sponsored our prize, so unless you get wise,
Our clues could have you befuddered.
Explanation:
References to Metzen Realty, this hunt's sponsor, and houses, indicates the park is in a residential area. The medallion is "covered" by wood chips

Clue #3
Published on Friday, July 29, 2022
Success comes soon, when you find men of the half moon
Their game is close to our spot.
No time to nap, listen for a thunderclap,
Scurry up to our prize you aught.
Explanation:
This clue refers to Washignton Irving's 1819 short story "Rip Van Winkle". In the story, a man takes a 20-year "nap" after bowling with some ghostly men in the Catskills Mountains. These men, of the ship the "Half Moon", are rumored to bowl in the mountains and the "thunderclaps" heard by the villagers below are the sounds of the pins being knocked down. In our hunt, we have hidden the treasure right above Concord Lanes. And instead of the sound coming from above, we hint that sound instead should be coming from below, revealing Grandview Park as our hiding spot.

Clue #4
When they arrived at the turn, for a spot they did yearn;
It would need to be fitting for a queen.
With the city's support, Emil and his cohort,
Got busy making it pristine.
Explanation:
This clue refers to St. Stefan Romanian Orthodox Church located right next to Grandview Park. The land the church is located on was partially donated by the city to a group of Romanian immigrants who had arrived in South St. Paul around the turn of the century. Emil Neagoe was one of the leaders of the project and designed the church in the Byzantine (busy) style. Eventually the queen of Romania visited the community in 1926 after the church had been completed.

Clue #5
Five clues will do, find a park with a View.
Careful not to go over the edge!
Beneath the Hammer, don't blubber and stammer,
Our prize is there, I pledge.
Explanation:
"View" refers to Grandview Park. Don't look by the edge; instead look underneath the bench dedicated to "The Hammer" and you will find the medallion concealed by woodchips.
