By purchasing this Bean Hole Days’ bowl, you can help the environment and obtain a memorable keepsake!

July 12th - 14th:

                                            Paddle Hunt - Search for Paul Bunyan’s lost paddle.  Only 3 clues will be given (one each day)!

Paddle Hunt Clue #1:

Bean Hole Days is almost here

We can’t find Paul’s paddle, our worst fear.

Bernice and Jeff said, "We need the paddle to stir the beans!"

So please find it by all means.

We need to search the town high and low

So we can continue the show.

We’re shure Paul’s helpers left it close by

and don’t look for it up towards the sky.

Outside is where the paddle will be found

so walk through town and look around.

Paddle Hunt Clue #2:

By word of mouth

I've heard the paddle is south.

There are many businesses in a park

Some like to mow

Some like to build

Some like to take things apart.

When you find Paul's Paddle

Brint it to the Pequot Lakes Chamber

There will be prizes for every family member!
