A clue for you: Heimatfest No. 4


» Read similar stories filed under:

The hunt continues. Here is the fourth clue leading to the Heimatfest medallion:

As long as rain comes from the west,

And is no more than drizzle,

The coin won’t need a wee life vest.

In fact, it may well sizzle.

It’s hidden in so small a space,

Your search for sure will fizzle.

Who will win this hunters’ race?

You’ll sure be in a mizzle.

Now east, now west, now south, now north.

You’ll end up in the middle.

Instead of saying, now, go forth.

Make that No. 3 for the Baker family.

Bryant Baker and his mom, Lois, found the Heimatfest medallion this week by the old log cabin in downtown Jordan.

The whole family -- including sister Britta and dad Bryan -- figures out the clues together.

They also found medallions in 2004 and 2006.

Read more about their hunt in the Sept. 3 print edition of the Jordan Independent.



A clue for you: Heimatfest No. 3


» Read similar stories filed under:

The hunt continues. Here is the third clue leading to the Heimatfest medallion:

Somewhere a person who’s cunning,

Thinks Cluemeister surely is funning,

And showing much fondness for punning,

Which is why clues are so mind-numbing!

Humph, is this cluester’s retort.

Among all the words you must sort.

And wall yourselves up in a fort.

But no, do not sell yourselves short.

I tell you out there gold is shining,

And for it you all must be pining.
