Welcome back, summer fun and Strawberry Fest
Some prefer festival rides, while for others a medallion hunt’s best
Whether new to the search, or find it old hat
Stick to public property, that’s where it’s at

Gather your crew, develop your plan
Scour city fields, trees and other land
The places to launch your search abound
Avoid where the prize previously was found

The festival medallion remains elusive
But no easy clues we will give
If you're checking off sites, stay away from the west
And north of 80th is certainly best

Let's narrow this hunt before you deem it a mistake
After days on the case you're praying for a break
There's water nearby but you shouldn't get wet
'Neath a deciduous near conifers the prize was set
