2010 Medallion Hunt

The medallion was found on Sunday!

A city-wide Medallion Hunt will be held beginning Sunday, January 31. The medallion will be hidden on public land in Chanhassen and a clue as to its location will be released daily at Byerly's, Chanhassen Center Drug, Chanhassen Library, the Chanhassen Villager and on this site, until Saturday, February 6. For contest rules and more information, visit the Chanhassen Library. Prize package is provided by Byerly's, Chanhassen Center Drug and Friends of the Chanhassen Library.”

The Rules

1.  Search but do not destroy or damage any property.  The Friends of the Chanhassen Library reserves the right to terminate the hunt if property becomes damaged.  The medallion will not be hidden under the ground; nor will it be hidden at a height requiring special equipment to find it.  A shovel may be useful if it is buried in the snow, but a metal detector is useless as the medallion is acrylic.

2.  The Chanhassen Library has resources that may help you solve some of the clues.

3.  The medallion must be and the prize claimed by 12 noon, on Monday February 8th.  The winner will be required to fill out a  W-9 Request for Taxpayer ID prior to receiving the prize.
