First clue released for medallion hunt
The annual Fall Harvest Festival Medallion Hunt will begin soon.
Here is a head start for all medallion hunters, courtesy of the Delano Area Chamber of Commerce. Remember – the hunt doesn’t actually start until 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept.27, so one has almost two weeks to figure out the first clue.
You will receive subsequent clues at each stop along the way, and you must show your clues at each stop to receive the next. The one who finds the chamber of commerce medallion first will receive a gift basket. For a peek at what the medallion looks like, visit www.delanochamber.com. The clue is:
A place to learn, a place to grow
We’ll teach you things you didn’t know
Beautiful things for all to share
Will grow for you because we care
From Oak to Elm we’ve got you covered
But there is more to be
discovered
Farm with us from morn until sup
And you’ll get growing from the ground up
