To continue a newer Syttende Mai tradition,
17 wooden medallions will be hidden sometime during the week of May 8th.
An example of what the medallions look like is above.
**There are no clues to help you find these medallions, it is sheer luck on finder's part.
**SOME of the medallions are worth a cash prize and the finder can keep the medallion.
**A person can find more than one medallion and then register it at the information booth no later than Sunday, May 15th by 5:00pm to find out if that particular medallion is worth a CASH PRIZE!!!
** Found medallions need to be shown and registered at the Syttende Mai Information Booth during its open hours 8am-5pm on Saturday, May 14th and Sunday May, 15th.
**No medallion reward money will be issued after 5 PM on May 15. So be sure to show/register found medallions before that ending time!
**Medallions will be hidden within the City limits of Westby, be accessible 24/7, will not be hidden on anyone's personal property and will be safely accessible for this hunt.
