Clue 1

Monday, May 25

Search for it this year on your own,

or you can band together.

Sometimes friends can really help,

or they can waste shoe leather.

-----------------------------------------------

The clues lead to a fabric bag with a 2.5 inch by 3 inch block of Lucite with a special Rose Festival medallion embedded in it. The medallion is hidden somewhere in the Portland metro area on public property and within easy reach. Nobody needs to dig or move any objects to find it. The medallion may be hidden in Multnomah, Clackamas, Clark, Washington, or Yamhill counties.

If you are the clever finder of the medallion, return it right away to the Portland Rose Festival office, 1020 S.W. Naito Parkway, Portland.

The winner gets a cash prize of $1,000 plus an overnight stay and buffet dinner for two at Spirit Mountain Casino and a ride in the Grand Floral Parade.
