ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

Watch this page for all Rochesterfest Treasure Hunt updates.  While 2020's Treasure never got out of it's undisclosed storage vault and was quarantined for the entire year, we think we've got some pretty good ideas for you to unmask for the 2021 Treasure Hunt.  :-)

The Rochesterfest Treasure Hunt has historically been sponsored by Whistle Binkies Pubs, Hiller's Flooring America and official Hunt media partner ABC 6 News-KAAL TV.

Please thank them for their support of Rochesterfest!

Clue #1

There’s no misdirection with this Reconnection! The Fest is abuzz all around!

For those most-courageous who unmask the contagious, your prize will be hunted and found.

With patience and laughter I’m a Treasure sought-after by leaders who you know abound.
Explanation:
"Leaders" refers to mayors, and the Treasure hiding place was in a park named for former Rochester mayor Alex P. Smetka.

Clue #2
Published on Sunday, June 20, 2021
Bakers count more so let’s add one not north. This place is near copse and the rill.

The mead degree zero will make you a hero for contrasting off of the nil.

Consider the span and the ginnel you can. Seven and five before tells.
Explanation:
Bakers count more (a baker's dozen is 13) so let’s add one not north. (13+1= 14, and not north of highway 14 is the south half of Rochester; also may pertain to County 1 which is where Smetka Park is found.) This place is near copse (a small group of trees) and the rill. (a small stream)

The mead degree zero (mead is another word for meadow/Meadow Park is north of Smetka Park/degree zero indicates north) will make you a hero for contrasting off of the nil. (contrasting from north means south)

Consider the span (there is a small footbridge) and the ginnel (a small path, usually for pedestrians) you can. Seven and five before tells. (Alex Paul Smetka served as mayor of Rochester seven mayors ago, with a four-year break, then another six year stint five mayors ago.)

Clue #3
Published on Monday, June 21, 2021
A star’s breakfast luster bespeaks where I muster. The trick is to give latitude.

The MAPS hold the ticket to finding my thicket. The finder will share in his gratitude.

Cartographers nay is the field for this play. Most honors and I share an altitude.
Explanation:
A star’s breakfast luster (refers to the rising sun in the east) bespeaks where I muster. The trick is to give latitude. (this means to figure out where, north or south, would the latitude line cross the Treasure spot; combined with Clue #2 'south of highway 14' would indicate southeast Rochester.)

The MAPS (the intials are for Mayor Alex P Smetka) hold the ticket to finding my thicket. (a dense group of bushes or trees) The finder will share in his gratitude. (Mayor Smetka always was grateful for his elected post and humble in his description of his job as simply a, "paid handshake.")

Cartographers nay (tMAPS is not related to mapping) is the field for this play. (there are several type of fields near the Treasure hiding place) Most honors and I share an altitude. (of the 45 Rochester mayors, the vast majority have passed with memorials placed at ground level; the Treasure was at ground level)

Clue #4

By now you’ve unscrambled how all these clues rambled. An eloquent post is elected.

These words do amaze. He served around days but for fifteen was all that selected.

As you begin wrestling with which is the trestle-ing be sure that the span is rejected.
Explanation:
By now you’ve unscrambled how all these clues rambled. An eloquent post is elected. (Mayor Alex P. Smetka was an accomplished speaker and Toastmaster, elected several times as mayor of Rochester)

These words do amaze. He served around days (Mayor Smetka's terms were separated by a four-year stint by Mayor Dewey Day) but for fifteen was all that selected. (Mayor Smetka served 15 years combined)

As you begin wrestling with which is the trestle-ing (refers to the footbridge near the Treasure hiding place) be sure that the span is rejected. (the Treasure is not on the footbridge)
