Week 1 Frosty Clue:

Much like the legend,

The 2025 Sleigh and Cutter Frosty is anew.

Coming again this year,

In their white Frosty Hue

A Waseca transplant,

But ties they did bind,

Here the greater part of 40 years

A love match they did find

A local friend, and

A supporter of the arts, 

Who will it be this year?

The answer, the clues will impart.  

Week 2 Frosty Clue:

A northerner from the start,

Frosty moved South for school

The major of study initially unknown

But a degree was the general rule

Completing classes at Gustavus

And taking credits as MSU

A 1983 college graduate

History was a favored study too

Far out of school now

But to help pass the time

Frosty enjoys putting together words

Possibly a limerick or a rhyme

Week 1 Medallion Clue:

How quickly again,

The time of the year is here,

Another winter season bringing

the Sleigh & Cutter Community Near

In our 75^th year, the medallion

Once again is hidden

Bundle up for your search,

Perhaps you need a lucky mitten?

Hidden within the town

Easy to find but not in plain sight

The medallion is secured

Protected and strapped in tight.

Week 2 Medallion Clue:

One lucky winner

Will keep the grand prize

Their dedication and note taking

A technique which was wise

Now in support of the 75^th year

And to give one more chance

The medallion will be re-hidden

In a special circumstance

$750 is now waiting

For the second lucky finder

The medallion hidden well

Good luck to the new pathfinder
