um, I dunno.....but I'll mention that one, too. I just moved here 6 months ago but my husband has lived here all his life so he should be helpful in finding it. I'll throw out the suggestions and he can tell me where everything is.

Thanks again for helping.

I was thinking if it were a football field then it might be under a bleacher or something. I emailed him about this and he thinks there is an old field not far from the planetarium.....I have a feeling we've got it narrowed down to the right area but it will be tough actually locating it. I'm hoping to talk him into going out to search this evening. There are lots of people looking for it so if we wait too long we will miss out.

every year the city i live in puts out clues to find $1000 prize hidden somewhere in the city.

Hmmm, I don't know. I'll have to ask my husband. I really don't know the town that well either yet. I thought maybe a football field because one of the clues refers to tackle.....and green is a hue that would be well known.

Thanks for your help.

I've been thinking about this at lunch. I looked up Lowell and found it was an observatory that discovered Pluto. So I've been thinking maybe on Pluto street or still considering a planetarium. There are still parts of it that aren't coming together, though.

No one has any ideas? Doesn't anyone want to help me win $1000? (Asking, sweetly...)

In finding the Holiday In Dixie Treasure. Every year the city I live in puts out clues to find $1000 prize hidden somewhere in the city. I believe it has to be located somewhere on public property. What I'm asking of you is that you help by trying to figure out the clues with me. I know you don't live here but the clues are often generic and you can help with suggestions of where we can look for it.

Here are our thoughts so far.

Possibly a planetarium. There isn't a street named Lowell so that has to be referring to something else.

Here are the clues. (I'll add the next clue to it each day until the treasure is found).

Sounds like fun...and thanks in advance for your suggestions....

Here are the clues up to today.
