It’s time to get out your Medal hunting shoes, as the Mount Vernon Lions Club medal hunt is returning this year.
The Mount Vernon Lions Club will be hosting its second annual medal hunt Saturday, July 6 through Friday, July 12.
Clues will be released on the Lions Club’s social media each day, and the daily winner who discovers the medal will win $25 and be entered into the grand drawing of $300.
Proceeds from sponsors for the event support the Mount Vernon Lions Club Charities.
Rules for the Medal hunt if you forgot them between last year and this year:
1.) Please like the Mount Vernon Lions Club FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, or TWITTER page and share the event to be considered registered.
2.) Clues released will be based on the medal hiding location.
3.) Medallion will be within the city limits of Mount Vernon.
4.) Medallion will not be hidden at the grounds of the cemetery, police station, fire station, school grounds, or public works buildings.
5.) Medallion will be hidden on public property. Which includes public businesses and inside businesses as well.

7.) To collect the prize, you must call the phone number found on the back of the medal.
*Please take a selfie with the medallion when and where found and text it to that same number.
8.) You may need a map, you may need some guidance, or maybe what you need is just the help of a local old timer to solve the clues and find the Medal, and if all else fails try Google.
9.) Must be 18 years or older to claim the prize. (Parents or guardians of a minor may claim the prize for them)
10.) No Mount Vernon Lions Member can take part in the “Hunt” or claim the prize.
