2019 Belle Plaine Harvest Medallion Hunt
Primary tabs
The annual Harvest Medallion Hunt is underway with the accompanying clue. The hunt is a prelude to the annual Belle Plaine Scenic Byway 5K and Half-Marathon races on Saturday, Oct. 12. If the medallion is not found this week, a second clue will be published in next Wednesday’s Herald (Oct. 2). A third clue, if necessary, will appear Oct. 9.
Last year Angie Johnson, with the help of Ann Miller, found the Harvest Medallion behind an orange safety strip on an electrical post on Chestnut Street immediately outside Annie’s Cafe.
The search area includes all of the Belle Plaine city limits northward to the railroad tracks, so the medallion will be south of the tracks. The medallion is located on public property and is not more than six feet off the ground. It is not on the Hooper-Bowler-Hillstrom Historical House property or inside the Tiger Park baseball field. Those searching on foot are encouraged to use the tunnel to cross Highway 169.
The medallion is about two inches in diameter and has “Belle Plaine Harvest Hunt 2019” inscribed on it. The prize for finding it is $100. If you find it, call 952-212-1060 and leave your name and phone number.
