2024 Crosslake Days Search for the Lost Chili Pepper
Friday, September 27, 2024 (9:00 AM - 10:00 PM) (CDT)
Description
Round up the family and get outside to search for the Crosslake Days Lost Chili Pepper! Somewhere within the City limits of Crosslake lays, hangs, dangles, or sits the Lost Chili Pepper! One of three clues will be released daily beginning Thurs. Sept. 26th at 9 a.m. to guide you to its location.
The pepper will NEVER be located on private residential property, and NO DESTRUCTION or DISASSEMBLY of ANYTHING is necessary to find it. Please heed and be respectful of this statement.
Find it, present it at Lake Country Crafts & Cones (36084 CR 66) and cash in on a prize basket valued at over $5,000 courtesy of Crosslake Chamber member businesses!
Clue #1
Where autumn leaves and cool breezes play
Crosslake Days brings festive cheer your way.
The Loon’s Tremolo echoes far and wide
Celebrate with music, food, and fun and enjoy the ride.
Clue #2
Bags will fly and spirits soar, as players aim to hit the score.
Spices and beans in pots they brew
Charred, smoked, hot or mild – which chili is best?
That’s up to you!
Download the Crosslake App for quick access to Crosslake Days information, Lost Chili Pepper clues, and event information year-round!
