St. Paul Pioneer Press Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt
1963 Clues


Finder details and explanations to be provided over time.

Clue 1
Treasure hunters will have a ball
Within the limits of old St. Paul
All private property you must avoid
And nothing at all should be destroyed.

Clue 2
The treasure is on open ground
Look for the medallion that is round
Don't invite danger, but obey safety rules
This hunt is for family fun, not for fools.

Clue 3
Flags are flying this is great!
Antenna rising tall and straight
Seizing a prize, an event centennial
Satisfaction like a bloom perennial.

Clue 4
Derricks and smokestacks are on the scene
Unused driveways are almost unseen
The curtain is up, come see the sights
Steve Allen's show will hit the heights.

Clue 5
At Carnival time, "Winter's a Winner"
So get out the woolies, both outer and inner
Houses trimmed in varied hues
Apartment and highway signs are clues.

Clue 6
The value's increased by the button you buy
Start early if you the treasure could spy
Telephone, power poles old and new
Stately buildings are in view.

Clue 7
With biting winds, icicles and frost
Set a pace or the prize is lost
Trees, some fallen and fir trees few
From an old stone-wall take a cue.

Clue 8
There are three devices for man's protection
But a tree with a forked trunk is a closer selection
Boreas' treasure gives you plenty of reason
To continue to search though your toes be freezin'.

Clue 9
A door hung horizontal is another sure sign
A smokestack to the south and a tree north in line
A bridge and a zone sign their help will lend
Find the treasure and the search will end.

Clue 10
Come honor this festival and a carol sing
With instruments gay, let a rondo ring
Parking lots and building in brick
A highway project is part of the trick.

Clue 11
R.C. and L.F are first letters of streets
Finding the treasure site each name completes
On the east street are four trees in line
Search to the west and you're doing just fine.

Clue 12
Second tree from the south in that line of four
Walk toward a hollow stump half way or more
There on the ground neath the snow it lies,
The frost covered medallion King Boreas' prize.

Clue 13
From the stump about 70 feet to the east
From the westward 100 ft at least.
The trees are on Louis. There's a pipe near the stump.
Find the medallion and with joy you will jump.
