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.
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.
