MEDALLION HAS BEEN FOUND! 🏅

Congratulations to Dave Verdick and his family for finding the 2026 Good Neighbor Days Medallion! Dave and Victoria have been actively searching for 3 years, and were thrilled to finally find it!

The medallion was hidden in the ditch outside Grace Bible Church at the corner of S. Main and Guth - hidden in a chip bag!

Thank you to everyone who followed the clues and joined the hunt. Another great Medallion Hunt is in the books!

Special thanks to our sponsors: CEFCU, Create A Scene, Inc., Dan Pfeifer - State Farm Insurance Agent, Heartland Bank and Trust Company and Uftring Chevrolet Washington IL and the Drive Chevy Dealers.

Thanks for playing!

CLUE 5 - Saturday, May 30

I’m not sure about the theology of it, but it couldn’t hurt to say a prayer and ask for a little grace in finding this year’s medallion.
