Winter Carnival

Why wouldn't you do it? What have you got to lose?

Sounds cool, we don't have anything like that here.

Anyway, whether its worth a lot or not, simply finding a medallion is a cool thing on its own.

Happy hunting!

If you win, be sure to get down with your bad self.

Virtually all of Quebec does it. Winter Festival. It's even got it's own mascot. Bonhomme du neige.

It's been running for a really long time.

We would have some in other parts of Canada, but most of us don't have enough snow this time of year.

The only thing that sucks is that we've been hit with over a foot of snow the last two days, which makes it a little harder to look for the medallion.

Oh yeah, its a plastic medallion so that people can't use medal detectors. I think last year it was found wrapped in a diaper. Some lady found the diaper and thought it was trash and left it alone...how sad for her, someone else unwrapped the diaper and the medallion was inside.

Was the diaper soiled or fresh?

That sounds really cool. I wish I lived in a place that did that sort of thing. Even if I didn't find it, the fun is in figuring out the clues. But the money is definately a GREAT bonus.

Wow, that sounds really awsome. No where that I have lived does anything like that (as far as I know), but it sounds like great idea. It sounds like something that can really bring a community together! Awsome, GOOD LUCK!

It was found this morning, the couple who found it won $5000 plus a year of groceries, could have been $10,000 if they had a registered carnival button. There were so many people at the park looking for this thing. The last clue practically gave the medallion away, but it still took a while for somebody to find it because there was so much snow on the ground.

Bring a community together or promote total anarchy and chaos.. Either or it works..
