The Pekin Marigold Festival is coming up the weekend after Labor Day. This year’s celebrity guest is the star of The History Channel’s hit show, “American Pickers,” Frank Fritz.
And as always since 1978, the Pepsi Marigold Medallion Hunt precedes the festival. If you can find the medallion, which is hidden somewhere on public property in or around Pekin, you’ll win your choice of a 3-night Caribbean Cruise for two or a 3-night Las Vegas Vacation for two from Pepsi and World Wide Travel in Pekin.

Don’t forget that I try to befuddle,
Placing things in disguise
You may look but really don’t see,
That it’s right before your eyes.
Idioms and axioms,
May lead you to your prize.
Just like passionate seekers,
They can vary in shape and size.
Clue #2
There are times that I can be direct,
At others you’ll seek assistance.
Not everyone is invited.
Nearby you may find resistance.
Typical markings I found are lacking.
Yet the rules say you must comply.
Then they actually allow it.
Can you do it, or do they deny?
Clue #1
I really wish you well.
So many different references,
I’ll release as time will tell.Colors again create value.
Subtleties are here and there.
Catch my angle, bend my words,
To succeed you must really care.
