It is that time of year! The clues have started for the 2010 Medallion Hunt! The Pekin Area Chamber of Commerce will release a new clue at noon. Who will find the Medallion this year?
“A Community Obsession”
Every year at the end of August, Pekin’s amateur detectives and determined sleuth prepare for the Pepsi Marigold Hunt. They pit their interpretive skills with the Medallion Hunt Cluemeister who has carefully hidden the small disc somewhere on public property and then releases “clues” on a daily basis. The clues carry double-meaning, veiled references, and carefully disguised hints all designed to bring out the “DaVinci Code” enthusiast in all of us.
Families, friends, co-workers and even neighborhoods collaborate in an attempt to discover the Medallion’s hidden location. The finder will discover that a very nice prize – often a nice “Trip for Two” waits for them courtesy of our generous friends at Pepsi. But, as history has shown, it is the excitement of being the one person who “has figured it all out” that often represents the greatest prize of all.
The hunt always commences the Monday before Labor Day. Clues are released Monday through Saturday, giving hunters the rest of the Holiday weekend to make their finding. If not discovered by Labor Day, clues will continue being released daily beginning that Tuesday.
Remember that the Medallion will be found on PUBLIC PROPERTY-within or contiguous to city boundaries, or owned by a Pekin Public body. Hunters do not need to dig up or climb up to find the Medallion. It may be carefully camouflaged or hidden with in something easily accessible and not requiring disassembly. The chosen hiding place is always selected with safety and accessibility given the highest consideration. Please also see the disclaimer page for further information.
Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
