Great Minnetonka Yeti Hunt Starts On December 31

Press release from the City of Minnetonka:

December 29, 2020

There’s Yeti ‘round these parts … and we need your help tracking ‘em down!

The Great Minnetonka Yeti Hunt is on! (And, of course, there are prizes!)

Here’s how it works:

Over each of the next four weeks –starting Dec. 31! – stuffed Yeti will be placed in specific Minnetonka parks:

• Dec. 31-Jan.6: Big Willow
• Jan. 8-13: Minnetonka Civic Center/Jidana
• Jan.15-20: Victoria-Evergreen
• Jan. 22-27: Purgatory

Each week, it’s a different park AND a different riddle that the Yeti will help you solve.

• Each Yeti is decorated with a letter of the alphabet. The total number of Yeti in each park corresponds to the number of letters on the riddle answer sheet each week.
• Find each Yeti, record and unscramble the letters to solve the riddle.
• Email your weekly answers to Recreation Superintendent Ann Davy by 5 p.m. each Thursday for a chance to win a $25 gift card.

At the end of the entire month, unscramble the gold-boxed letters on your answer sheet to uncover the Yeti’s grand secret message. Submit THAT answer by Jan. 28 for a chance to win a $50 gift card!

And please play fair and don’t remove the Yeti. Thank you and good luck out there!
