March Medallion Found - Twice!
The medallion eluded discovery for two weeks and then Cindy and Tom Dyer found it. They selected a $25 gift certificate to Jackalopes.
But the contest was not over. We hid the medallion once again and Karen Brett discovered the treasure and selected a $25 gift certificate to Fast Eddies.
Final Clue
For those who looked, but did not find the secret space,
It really was in plain sight, secured in a high place.
It watched day after day as cars and trucks drove past
Tacked up on the Town Hall sign - it was found at last.
Congratulations to all our seekers, we hope you had fun.
The March Madness Medallion Contest is finally done.
