Not really sure what they want us to get out of it. To me it said Crosby, but it seemed so strange to get us to the park so quick.

Wonder if this is what medallion is hidden in? A big enough distraction/red herring to suggest a park name, but not intention... KA

Hey it posted.. therefore...another way of looking at it, "Happy Holidays" is meaning "Christmas and New Years"...or something like that * * "Happy Holidays"

I just rechecked the clues and Holidays is plural with a "s".

Is there a Frank or Sinatra Park anywhere? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reprise_Records

Interesting! Reading through the synopsis of this Christmas Collection by Frank, it turns out he formed his own album recording label. Guess what it was

Either way. First pick Battle Creek then, and second pick Cherokee Park.

Hi David, my 2nd park pick is Swede Hollow for now....Thanks

If you're referring to the park pool, second picks don't matter unless all 20 spots for your first pick are filled up.  Otherwise just one guess per clue.

I have to agree, that is kind of a big stretch.  It's not crazy to think there's a musical reference, but to connect it to a song by Paul Revere and the

I don't know if there's any specific intent to refer to music.  It's possible there is, but I'm not sure what to make of it offhand other than perhaps a music

Thanks allison. Any significance to the musical references in both clues 1 and 2? One definition for "reprise" in Clue 1 is "a repeated passage in music".

Thanks, KA. I guess I was thinking there was another video, like in years past, with that James Goodhue? character. I was trying to find out where people got

Which video are you looking for?  They are not doing video versions/songs of the clue this year.  They have put out some other random videos though that have

In a sense, yes you do.  You'll have at least two of Crosby's 20 cumulative votes and maybe even a third if nothing changes with the next clue and you get
