The Peoples Bank
PurpleHull Pea Festival
Treasure Hunt
The 2010
Peoples Bank
PurpleHull Pea Festival Treasure Hunt, worth $250, has been found!
And
one thing is obvious: Matt Johnson of Emerson is a treasure hunter
extraordinaire.
For the second year in a row, Matt has found the PurpleHull Pea Festival
Treasure. Matt found it at 7:05 a.m., June 24, behind a gutter on the
south side of the "New Gym." (In Emerson, we refer to it as the New Gym,
even though it was built in 1956. A "Newer Gym" is now under
construction.)
Congratulations to Matt who wins $250 courtesy of the great folks at
Peoples Bank!
Here were the clues that Matt, and everyone else, had to work with:
An explanation is included in red after each clue.
Monday's Clue:
For PurpleHull Treasure,
don't go looking on private stuff. It's on public property. For today,
that should be enough.
(Self explanatory.)
Tuesday's Clue:
No need to take a plane, a train or
even a car. For PurpleHull Treasure, you don't have to go far.
(The treasure was hid right here in Emerson, in the
same area where festival would occur.)
Wednesday's Clue:
Hunting PurpleHull Treasure is
challenging but fun. There are four on one side. I'm behind one.
(The treasure was behind one of four gutters on the
south side of the New Gym.)
Thursday's Clue:
If PurpleHull Treasure is your goal, here's a clue: Think about
what's soon to be old, that was formerly new.
(As stated above,
for years we've referred to our gymnasium as the "New Gym," even though it
was built in 1956. A "Newer Gym" is under construction.
Perhaps the "New Gym" will soon become known as the "Old Gym," or perhaps
we'll refer to them as the "New Gym" and the "Newer Gym." Time will
tell,) |
