The hunt continues. Here is the second clue leading to the Heimatfest medallion:

Picture you in your Olympics.
Spread a blanket; have some picnics.
Lying back and looking upwards,
At the clouds of whirling clue words.

Sprint and swim and throw and jump.
Come in first! Your heart will pump.
Place or bronze or silver, gold,
Is the prize that one will hold.

Which way shall we start our search?
Look up where the birds do perch.
Will our trek be like a race?
Finding gold in secret place.

Funny how these things do happen.
When you’re close, bird wings start flappin’.
Good thing that the young have flown
Far from nests where grass is mown.

Jordan resident and Cluemeister Marilyn Landela writes the clues for the annual medallion hunt, which will run in the Thursday editions of the Jordan Independent until the medallion is found.
