By now you've discovered this iconic shop
The place you start your day for a quick coffee stop
In the big window you'll sit with a friend, or alone...
And enjoy a frothy latte with a raspberry scone
But to find the medallion, outdoors you will see
To the West of the building, look in the tree!
I hope your downtown shopping trip went well
Now close your eyes and take a smell
An enticing aroma fills the air
At the end of the block, you're almost there
The small businesses in town are 2nd to none
Clue number 3 will lead you to one
On main street, the charming buildings stand tall
Shopping downtown IFalls sure beats the mall
The medallion is hidden in one of these spots
You're getting closer to connecting the dots...
I'm sure your dinner at TBird was delicious
You'll soon feel a bit suspicious
I am a trickster by trade
Turn around and retrace the steps that you made
Don't go too far though, just head West
Stay tuned for tomorrow's clue, it might be the best
Ok Medallion Seekers
You think you have this all figured out
This might sound like a cheap plug
But you must head east past the truck route
Grab a burger, steak or some ribs and some fries
Head to the Thunderbird for dinner
But this is not where the medallion lies
The Spring Medallion is sitting in the corner of the box.
The Spring Medallion enjoys its time at the outdoor.
The Spring Medallion for Week 1 has been found by Heather and Mack Olson. They have won a $50 gift certificate to Eckman GM and a $50 gift card to Ronnings. The Spring Medallion was located in the corner of the player's box at the outdoor rink at Kerry Park.
Spring Medallion likes to have a wild time.
The Spring Medallion plans to stick around for a while.
