Maple Grove Days to feature Medallion Hunt
Winner will receive $500 cash
This year’s Maple Grove Days celebration, scheduled for Thursday, July 10 through Sunday, July 13, will feature a medallion hunt.
Clues for the medallion hunt will be published each Wednesday in the Osseo-Maple Grove Press starting June 4, as well as on the Maple Grove Days website at www.maplegrovedays.com. These clues will be updated every Wednesday through July 9 or until the medallion is found.
The prize for finding the maple leaf-shaped medallion is $500 cash.
Medallion searchers are encouraged to purchase a
$3 Maple Grove Days button at the Maple Grove Community Center
as a button is required to claim the prize. Proceeds from button sales will go to the Maple Grove Ambassador’s program.
For daily updates on whether or not the medallion has been found searchers can call 494-5956.

6/11/2008 | Sit and feel Sir Isaac’s pain
Or shelter here from gentle rain
Close to a mosquito breeder
Hills, trails and some cedar
|
6/18/2008 | A place where you could pay your tax
Or sit a spell and just relax
Enjoy the water and gentle breeze
Whistling through the needled trees
|
6/25/2008 | A major road by a center
That brings peace to those who enter
Picnic on a grassy knoll
Where parents sit on patrol
|
7/2/2008 | Come early for a picnic table
There’s only two, so if you’re able
Put your food on ice to chill
‘Cuz at this park there is no gril
|
7/9/2008 | The angels watch not far away
Across the street where children play
Advice to “hunters” on the search,
Stay in the park and not the church.
