The second clue will be published in the Southwest Saturday paper and will be posted on our Web site (www.shakopeenews.com [0]) at 6 p.m. Saturday.

The third clue will appear in the next week’s Valley News, and at 6 p.m. July 31 on our Web site. The fourth and final clue will be posted in several locations at Huber Park by 9 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 2 and at 10 a.m. on our Web site.

The prize, in the shape of a medallion, includes a phone number the finder can call to claim the $200 cash prize. 

Hunters can check to find out if the medallion has been found by logging on to the newspaper Web site, or by calling (952) 345-7788.

Clues must be obtained from the publications or the Web site; they will not be provided over the phone by the newspaper.

The medallion is located on public property. No digging is required.
