The medallion is being hid only now as I speak.
Good luck now on this giant game of hide and seek.
Explanation:

We’ve now got back the rights to the Lumberjack Days name


And the Medallion Hunt changes, yet remains the same (Meaning: new hiding place, new clue-writer, same great tradition).


On public land in Stillwater’s borders


Here are your seeking orders (Meaning: Stillwater city limits on public land, not private)


If you’ve been searching already for the prized token


Listen to the words now being spoken (Meaning: You should really go to the first clue in person to be the first to know the clues. There will always be a delay with posting the clues online, on purpose).

Good luck now on this giant game of hide and seek. (Meaning: If you were looking early, you were wasting your time. The game starts only after the first clue is read).

Thank goodness it’s Friday, the weekend begins.
Make sure you wear bugspray, even on your shins.
The beauty in Stillwater is a magnificent site.
You’ll find the medallion if you turn to the right.
If you’re near a cliff by a different name,
Keep searching my friends, the prize is yours to claim.
Explanation:

Thank goodness it’s Friday, the weekend begins.


Make sure you wear bugspray, even on your shins. (Meaning: The hiding spot was SUPER mosquito-filled. Not to torture people, but just because it was a good hiding spot. This was a warning too, that if you don't wear bugspray, you'll get eaten up. I made that mistake myself).


The beauty in Stillwater is a magnificent site.


You’ll find the medallion if you turn to the right.  (Meaning: The pathway in Sunrise park is to the right, as well as the deer path, as well as the dead, fallen pine tree where the medallion was hiddden).


If you’re near a cliff by a different name


Keep searching my friends, the prize is yours to claim  (Meaning: If you are near EDGEWOOD Rd, you're getting closer to Sunrise Park. Edge is another name for a cliff).

If you’ve been searching downtown,
This clue will give you a frown.
Head West! They say,
It will take you the right way.
The name of our beloved river is key,
The medallion found not at dusk will be.
Explanation:

If you’ve been searching downtown


This clue will give you a frown  (Meaning: It's not in downtown Stillwater - too many people were down there AND with the 2016 floods, we weren't taking any chances).


Head West! They say


It will take you the right way  (Meaning: Sunrise Park is west of downtown Stillwater)


The name of our beloved river is key  (Meaning: St. Croix River = Croixwood neighborhood)


The medallion found not at dusk will be  (Meaning: The opposite of dusk is dawn...or....sunrise! Meaning Sunrise Park).

Still at large? How can that be?
We've given you the map and tools you see
Kids play here by day, Trees sleep here by night
The pathway here is in a dimmer light
It's been fun, it's been charming
But if the medallion is unfound, that's alarming!
Explanation:

Still at large? How can that be?


We’ve given you the map and tools you see  (Meaning: Tools = bring a rake!)


Kids play here by day, Trees sleep here by night (Meaning: It's for sure a park, not an overlook or public building)


The pathway here is in a dimmer light (Meaning: the pathway in Sunrise Park is covered by trees, so even when sunny, it is dim)


It’s been fun, it’s been charming (Meaning: the pathway is a perfect romantic walk with someone you're really into!)


But if the medallion is unfound, that’s alarming!  (Meaning: nothing here, it just ryhmed with charming)

The Festival is over and Lumberjacks have gone to bed,
Or maybe to get acupuncture instead.
The medallion is getting acupuncture as well,
Just using different equipment from the trees that fell.
Count one path then two,
But make sure you walk as the deer do.
Get lost to right, but stop before the trees that sleep all day, not just at night.
Explanation:

The Festival is over and Lumberjacks have gone to bed,


Or maybe to get acupuncture instead.  (Meaning: the event Lumberjacks Days was officially over, but the hunt was not)


The medallion is getting acupuncture as well,  


Just using different equipment from the trees that fell.  (Meaning: Acupuncture uses needles, and the medallion was hidden underneath pine needles.)


Count one path then two, 


But make sure you walk as the deer do.  (Meaning: Right off the main pathway there are deer trails, and the second one from the start is the closest one to the hiding spot).
