Find the medallion, bring in the clues and register a button – it’s worth more! If you don’t find the medallion, take your clues after the Hunt to any participating Twin Cities Cub Foods store for a chance to win a $500 or $300 Cub Foods Gift Certificate.


Contest Details and Rules:
Treasure Hunt clues will be published in the Pioneer Press beginning Sunday, Jan. 21, 2007.

A new clue will publish daily through Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007, unless the medallion is found prior to that date. Read the daily clues to search for the Pioneer Press medallion hidden on public land in Ramsey County. The medallion will not be found on the State Capitol grounds, on a golf course, Como Zoo & Conservatory, Harriet Island or any construction site.

If you find the Pioneer Press medallion, immediately return it to the Pioneer Press, 345 Cedar St., St. Paul, to qualify for the $2,500 initial cash prize and $1,200 of groceries (one $100 Twin Cities Cub Gift Certificate per month for 12 months). Win an additional $2,500 for bringing in all of the published daily clues from the Pioneer Press and providing them along with the found medallion.

The Pioneer Press will also award an additional $5,000 to the finder if he/she is a registered 2007 Winter Carnival Button owner and has mailed an official entry form postmarked by Saturday, Jan. 20, 2007, to the Winter Carnival office.

If the Pioneer Press Treasure Hunt medallion is not found by 11:59 pm Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007, the Pioneer Press reserves the right to terminate the Hunt and donate the prize to a local charity.

The Pioneer Press reserves the right to discontinue the Hunt at any time if public property is destroyed.
