Clues:
1. It?s about time we had some fun.
A pandemic in the rear view, our historic city awakes.
A prize lies prone, on the outskirts of an urban space.
Hanging out near a peaceful open place.
The finder earns something very grand.
Be ready to uncover some prime land.
2. The medallion is holding on tight.
You won?t see it unless you look just right.
Hiding in a public place; a park or trail or open space.
3. The tattered pages of a century turning.The steam clears, Pipestone?s earliest prosperity, unearthed.
A booming trade.
An ambitious builder.
Clickity, clickity clack, are you on the right track?
