Winter Carnival
Every year St. Paul has this winter carnival for a couple of weeks and they do parades and shows and once in awhile build an ice palace (maybe they'll show it when they do the NHL Allstar game cause its right next to the arena) like this year, but the biggest thing that they have is the treasure hunt.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press(city paper) and some sponsors hide a medallion in a St. Paul city park and every day for like two weeks they print a clue in the paper. Finding the medallion can be worth up to 10,000 dollars, and free year of groceries this year.
Well tomorrow is the last clue, and I think I'm going to go looking because it hasn't been found yet. They've been doing this for years, and its always been found every year.
Any other cities do this kind of thing? I think its kind of cool. One year I knew which park it was at on like the third clue, but I never went looking cause I couldn't. You think it worth the time to go looking? It's easy money if you ever found it. The last clues pretty much give away the park anyways, its just a matter of finding the right spot in the park.
