Clue #1 -

Ninety-two! Ninety-two! The Hopkins Raspberry Festival celebrates its 92^nd year!

That means there’s no time to waste! Let’s get the Hunt for the Golden Raspberry into gear!

Central Park is under construction for the time being, J, so the medallion isn’t hidden there.

Look west of Blake Road, barely. The quest for the Raspberry begins; we’re kind of square!
