for those new to the hunt (per an email i have received) the first batch of clues are the least revealing, and they become progressively more helpful each round. the longer the hunt, the easier the clues. check back often. and good luck. |

thanks heather and joanne. I am loving the pictures being sent in. The first artwork was found, by Camille Schlegel (a past artwork finder). Keep sending in those pictures, and I love hearing about your adventures. |

John (age 8) Meyer has found art in his PJ's this AM at Oak Hill Park. He missed his bus for school, but it was all worth it! |

Clue#6 was the one John found at Oak Hill this AM! |

William - on the website is "clue #2" found or "clue #4" for Camille? You've got two different pics labeled for Camille. Thanks |
| william hessian |
posted 6/6/09 1:26 AM
sorry joanne. mistake on my part with Camille's photo. mistake has been fixed, and all should be clear. what amazing hunting this year... 4 found within the first three days. Some without even one clue posted (like Liza at the beehive park) or using only the "difficult" clues. i applaud the effort so far this year! |

If we were not in Duluth today, I think we'd be searching in Fern Hill and Jersey Parks for fun! |

Will there be any more clues posted today? |

the boys and i were out in the rain today. we had a lot of fun pretending to be pirates searching for treasure. we looked at minnekhada vista (is that how you spell that word!?) and the lost park. we also looked around cute little sunshine park for fun. the five year olds are really into it, and it has been fun to see them so excited about it. congratulations to you all who have found the artwork so far.....our group will have to keep looking..... |

each batch of clues are posted around midnight of each day. sometimes they are posted early. I am performing an art battle at Red Hot Arts Festival yesterday and today, therefore clues are posted a little before scheduled times. the second batch of clues will also feature the medium clues for those already found art. I will continue to reveal easier clues even for the FOUND art simply to reveal the hidden location. good luck with the remaining 6 |

We were at Twin Lake Park on Saturday in the rain looking for the art piece and we couldn't find one. When the next clue came out we knew exactly where it was in Twin Lake Park. After three years of hunting for art pieces we finally found one Sunday morning. |

OK who is writing stuff under my name? Skylar - I would never write that - that's strange??? |

We found the location of clue 18, but it is no longer there. Missing? |
| Joanne |
posted 6/9/09 8:02 PM
Skylar was at Clue #18 at 6:00 AM Tuesday and it was there... Heather was there at 8:30 AM and it wasn't there! HMMMMMM who has it?! |
| Joanne |
posted 6/9/09 10:46 PM
I'm very intrigued by Clue 16... I've done quick looks at Carlson Field, Paul Frank Field... I know people have hunted at Rotary, Skippy, and Dakota for this clue... I might need to go look at "Dale Petit Field" also known as Ellie Park and Watertower Park !! Maybe it is not on a score board! |

We had an evening of hunting no luck oh well... We enjoy our yearly visit to a tiny park called Cedarhurst, every year the cotton trees make it seem like it is snowing there! Drove by Hampshire Park which use to be a really tiny old park now it is just a green space. We were also at Browndale and Minikahda Vista tonight. And not that anyone cares but we drove past quite a few today --- quest for art... can't beat it on the last day of school! Tomorrow maybe a stroll around Bass Lake and the Bass Lake Park. |

only three chubby creatures left to find! great hunting again! i will make sure that at there is at least one clue each remaining day until the three are found. meaning, there is at most only 9 days of clues left. i will also post the remaining FOUND clues so you can all see the locations of the found art. Cant wait to see you all at the awards ceremony. I am excited to see who finds the last three. |

posted 6/10/09 2:26 AM
Four left - Clues (10,20) Clues (5,16) Clues (3,13) and Clues (9, 19) Hope I have those matches right... I get so confused. I'm going to use Facebook now for help! |

posted 6/10/09 2:27 AM

It is after midnight, going into Thursday here... and someone needs to lock me up! I really thought I knew where Clue 23 was - so I've been to Blackstone, Jersey, and Ford Parks with the moon giving me some light but then the sprinklers turned on by Blackstone by those townhouses and I knew I should call it a night or a morning! WHERE is that one!? |

Sorry for all the posts... Now I'm thinking Edgebrook, Aquila still, or Bass Lake... Now I will go to sleep as it is nearing two AM! |

Been looking all around town and getting scared because there is just 2 left! I would really love finding one because i have never heard of the art hunt before and i am really enjoying it so far... except for the fact i must bike to every park. It is worth it! |
| Joanne |

I am all wrong... Heather you are a trooper!!!!!!!!!! |
| heather |
posted 6/11/09 5:05 PM
i am SO sad!! we just found the location of clue #16, but it is not there! so i think there is only one left....unless that little fella is gone too. we have been SOOO close so many times this hunt, but no chubby creature! well, we will keep looking until the last one is found! |

we were at Jersey Park this morning at 11:20. we are CERTAIN this is where clues 3, 13 and 23 were photographed. but the artwork was already gone! yesterday, we were at Browndale and missed that one, too. there's always next year! thanks, william for making such a fun art hunt for all the kids and families! charlie and jen |

Great job William it was fun... I've been to Shelard, Meadowbrook, Jackly, Bass Lake today. I'm hoping all are found so I can focus again on reality! I too think that Jersey Park is the one for Clue 13, etc but I've never been able to find the wood! Looked like the city was doing work on the picnic shelter there. HMMMM Time will tell! |
| heather |
posted 6/11/09 7:10 PM
i agree with the others, william, it was a very fun hunt this year! we ended up going to a lot of parks we have not been to in the past, and all of my boys really had fun exploring! many thanks for all of your effort and hard work, not to mention creativity!! |

Where is the location of clue 16 heather? Just curious because that one looked tough... |
| charlie and jen |
posted 6/11/09 10:10 PM
It was absolutely Jersey Park. We found the wood and the shelter and blue slides were in the background -- but someone beat us to it. Can't wait to see who it was. |
