Watch for clues to be released at 12:00 p.m. daily Monday, August 30th through Saturday, September 4th. The next clue releases Labor Day at 6:30 a.m. The first three clues traditionally reflect a broad, general location within Pekin. Additional clues will reveal specific details on where to look within the general location. The clues are clever and will require hunters to use their knowledge of Pekin to decipher where the Medallion is hidden. Clues will continue to be released until the Medallion is found.
