Clues
Clue #1
Published on Wednesday, August 14, 2013
Woodbury Days begins in but a week
Until then, there is treasure you may seek
So where does the medallion reside?
Begin thinking of areas
Where public spaces collide
Explanation:
The reference to public places colliding is the key to this clue. The medallion was stashed almost exactly where Royal Oaks Elementary and Chippewa Park meet up.

Clue #2
Published on Thursday, August 15, 2013
If you’re looking for direction
Consider last year’s election
East or west -- the location could be either
Instead, search grounds of Ward’s
And not what’s covered by Kieffer
Explanation:
We thought we’d see how politically aware this year’s hunters were. Ward – Rep. JoAnn Ward, that is – represents House District 53A, which includes a chunk of western Woodbury. Rep. Andrea Kieffer represents the rest. That eliminated approximately three-quarters of the city from your hunting grounds.

Clue #3
Published on Friday, August 16, 2013
Our winner will be crowned
When the treasure is found
Coming up short?
Here’s where we hold court:
Scour the ground
If you want it to be found
Explanation:
“Crowned” is the critical item buried in this clue, where “scour the ground” might appear to be the primary reveal. We were leading you to the area around Royal Oaks – specifically, Queens Drive. Later, we hoped “court” would lead hunters toward the tennis courts; the medallion wasn’t far from there.

Clue #4
The weekend has passed without a find
We hope a local park was on your mind
Need more help on the way to the loot?
Follow the upcoming parade route
Explanation:
This clue was just as literal as it appears. The Woodbury Days parade route takes you right past Chippewa Park. (For sticklers, the Woodbury High School homecoming parade – also technically “upcoming” – also traverses a similar route.)

Clue #5
Regal trees are the key in this quest
Landmarks are important, too
And this one may be best:
Medallion is nearest to people
Who have a good view of a steeple
Explanation:
Now we would have been getting to the point of helping those still lost. Regal trees? Royal Oaks. Of course. As for the steeple: it would have been obscured by the school at other possible hiding spots in Chippewa, but not for those bearing down on the tree.

Clue #6
Chippewa Park may be tiny
But there are many spots good for hiding
If you’ve sought shelter from the skies
You’re almost on top of the prize
Explanation:
You’re in the park, you’re close to the medallion, so we would have needed to get hungry hunters even closer. The arbor vitae was next to the covered pavilion shelter.

Clue #7
Woodbury Days is nearly upon us
So it’s time to make this tidy
The medallion hides
Beneath an arbor vitae
