Clue 1
It's Strawberry Fest once again
This celebration's a perfect 10
There's a medallion hidden out there
on Cottage Grove property, that's where
Clue 2
Back on the trail and ready for more?
This hunt's neither task nor chore
So settle in and give it a try
Your prize is dry but not high

Pursuit of the treasure picks up on Day 3
Don't waste your time checking water or tree
If you're still stumped on which way to head
Off toward the west is where you should tread

We assure you these hints are not tongue in cheek
If you hit it rich, they say don't yell 'Hark!'
Be glad for your luck and bow from the park

You need not scour from a perch
Recruit a team, but tools you ought not wield
For this prize, head for a field
