THE LOST CHILI PEPPER HAS BEEN FOUND! Randy Petersen of White Bear Lake deciphered the clues and found the Lost Chili Pepper at the public access on Goodrich Lake. Congratulations Randy, we know you will enjoy all the items in your reward basket, valued at more than $3,000 courtesy of Crosslake Chamber member businesses!
Clue #1
It’s finally Crosslake Days! Our favorite Fall festival!
Be sure to get your lanyard, for the deals are plentiful
Our Platinum sponsor has a cool new name,
‘Tremolo’ is the call of the loon, useful knowledge for a trivia game.
Clue #2
Explore Crosslake and you will find Chili Cook-off, Arts & Crafts, Cornhole, loon calling and more:
Just a couple miles in any direction to find fun activities galore.
Take a scenic drive to spend some quality time on a shore or dock.
The chili pepper will be there to find, a large prize you will unlock!
Clue #3
As the loons gather for their long winding journey, we’ll miss the Tremolo call heard across lakes and ponds.
Their nests will be empty amongst the reeds, Lily Pads, and weeds with no respond.
Fall has descended and Winter is near, but the boats will be launching first sign of Spring next year.
So cheers to Fall, and Crosslake Days, with good health and riches with Summer memories held dear.
