Finder details and explanations to be provided over time.
Clue 1
Our Carnival theme is buttons and bows.
The medallion is hidden as everyone knows
Come search for King Boreas' annual treasure
Our city's boundaries should be your measure.
Clue 2
Join Carnival hi-jinks, come on the run;
The treasure hunt is part of the fun.
A distant landmark in the sky
Blinks its message from on high.
Hi-jinks meant Jenks Street was near the hiding place.
Clue 3
On private property do not go
If you hope for this year's dough.
Close by, two structures both with green
Appear on the landscape near the scene.
Clue 4
Search for the treasure is no dangerous quest;
Get an early start and do your best.
Solve "The Case of the Double Arrow"
And your treasure pursuit will surely narrow.
"The Case of the Double Arrow" refers to Case Street nearby and the several double arrow direction signs at the junctions of streets running into Mississippi Street.
Clue 5
To be destructive there is no need
Respect for property is our creed
If facing west or east we stand
A bridge appears on either hand.
Clue 6
Numbers two, nine, seven and letters four
Are clues to help and not much more
A tower standing straight and tall
Is on the horizon familiar to all.
Clue 7
By foot by car, we're treasure bound
Now and then a horn will sound
And from a school quite old in age
Take a cue for our mystery stage.
Clue 8
Find a few more than a couple of trees
The direction being in a good hard freeze
Yard long clues to sort and choose
Should suggest another you can't refuse.
Clue 9
Nearby a building large and grey
Or a type that's hard to find today
And one that's made of paper and tar
Won't let your thoughts go wandering far.
Clue 10
A patriotic symbol find
Another of a spiritual kind
Close a hand, a building of steel
At this time, that's all we'll reveal.
Clue 11
Eight tall poles against the skies
Guard the spot where the treasure lies.
Think of a river when a street you see,
A three-sided figure will yield a key.
Clue 12
Names of blossoms help when you look
Girls' names like Edna, surnames like Cook
Stand on a spot, see an old fashioned railing
Smoke from a shanty will set your hopes sailing.
Clue 13
A rectangular shape is the treasured ground.
A highway some day on this spot will be found
In a line with Lawson and two bay-windows stand
To loosen trampled snow have a tool in hand.
Forty yards from the road is a pipe in the snow
About forty-five feet from the pipe is the prize - Bravo!
