Frosty: Week 1

A new person was chosen,

Who will wear the suit?

The information given each week,

For ideas to take root

A long time Waseca resident,

Known by many or all

Can be seen out and about

No event too big or too small

An involved citizen,

With much to their name

A commitment to the community,

Like past Frosty’s, now the same.

Frosty: Week 2

Have you seen them?

Have your paths crossed?

The legend of Frosty

Much like that of Jack Frost. 

When Frosty was asked,

What do they think of them self?

Frosty responded, average

Although accolades are on their shelf.

A friend to all,

A household name

Blending in with the crowd

Watching family in games

Medallion: Week 1

It’s that time of year

Medallion hunters are getting in gear

Ready to start the quest,

The money – to whom will be blessed.

The medallion in wait

For the finder, it’s fate.

Within the city limits,

Visibility it permits

Near nature in its space

Ready to be found in its place.  

Medallion: Week 2

In a spot

Its location sought

The distant sound

Of feet on the ground

In the summer heat

The sound non-discrete

Children playing

Nature splaying

Activities for any

Opportunities are many
