Kelly Kitchen of St. Paul and friend Tami discovered the first mouse in the bi-annual MINBIN $5,000 Mouse Hunt. They spent about four hours in the field and ten hours doing research online to bag the rodent. Interestingly, Kelly and Tami met while searching for the St. Paul Winter Carnival Medallion Hunt. Congrats to Kelly and Tami. You're now $1,000 richer.

Nice work Nussbaumer. I have not been found yet.
Scrambled Clue:
Frederick Nussbaumer, Superintendent of Parks from 1891 to 1922, worked tirelessly to create an outdoor haven for the area's urban population. This mouse was located in Como Park, on Lake Como. Nussbaumer strongly advocated for a wide variety of free or reasonably priced recreational activities, services, and educational opportunities for all park visitors. The park as we know it today continues to carry out this original vision (except that unsightly litter is obvious everywhere in the water).
