Medallion Hint

It's been reported that people have been congregating within the Pekin Park Sports Complex at 5th and Koch Street (which is not yet open) and around the Avanti's Dome (which is not public property).  In both cases, hunters are wasting their time. Gary Gillis- Cluemeister

Clue #5

Winning medals at the Olympics; Standing tall to receive the vaunted prize. Finishing seven, six or five is still an honor. That signals greatness, you could easily surmise. Remember what I told you earlier. It's not as spoon-fed as you'd like it to be. Partners help provide good direction. It's not beneath them to often disagree.

Next clues...

Watch for clue #5 to be posted today at noon.  If needed, clue #6 will be posted at 6:00am on Saturday morning.  Clue #7 will not be posted until noon on Tuesday.

Clue #4

Detectives running rings around each other, Often leave the searcher confused. It's hard but you really can't knock it. There's a helpful distinction right here in this ruse. But no matter how you slice it, A story can have many sides. Something is missing and something was added. Select carefully, for it's required that we abide.

Other Medallions?

It has come to our attention that a Pekin business has chosen to package and hide medallions of their own design across town that congratulate the finder and offer a discount for their services. This IS NOT the official medallion nor is it authorized or a sanctioned part of the Pepsi Marigold Medallion hunt! We hope this business's actions don't discourage hunters or lessen their enthusiasm for this trusted event.

Clue #3

So now we'll get down to what puzzles. Use of counting and numbers I'll enjoy. The studious and patient could find it. It's not clear and will surely annoy. Like a researcher playing all the angles, Or differences that work but make you question the sense, It's really a thing of beauty, But don't regret this one small offense.

Clue #2

As some things are fairly obvious, There are others in need of support. Though it's important how you bring it all together. What you observe should be in your report. Do you attempt to discern a pattern? Or are you seeking a break with my past? I'll share specific sources for study. Like this effort, it's not built to last.

Clue #1

Twenty five years of veracious writing, Without Pepsi it wouldn't be the same. They've helped us build the excitement. Yet added mystery as part of the game.   I normally employ some misdirection, As you travel betwixt and between, It might help you wind this up early, As you clarify my hints to the scene.

Medallion Hunt Disclaimer

Remember that the Medallion will be found on PUBLIC PROPERTY-within or contiguous to city boundaries, or owned by a Pekin Public body. Hunters do not need to dig up or climb up to find the Medallion. It may be carefully camouflaged or hidden within something easily accessible and not requiring disassembly. The chosen hiding place is always selected with safety and accessibility given the highest consideration. The Pepsi Marigold Medallion will not be hidden on any golf course (public or private), inside Pekin Community High School stadium, inside Dragonland, inside any school facility, flowerbed, around the Sun Dial, or in close proximity to the Pekin Archery Range or the U.A.W. Highrise. The medallion will not be placed in a recessed lighting fixture at the Pekin Public Library or Dirksen Congressional Center. The medallion also will not be placed near the fence at the Federal Bureau of Prisons. No location will be selected that requires physical risk. Also, please be
