🌽 🌽 Corn Capital Days Token Hunt Reminder!

The Corn Capital Days Token Hunt is always a fun tradition, and we love seeing everyone get out to explore our community!

Just a friendly reminder: the token is NOT buried underground.

City parks are shared spaces for everyone to enjoy, so we ask that all participants be respectful of the grounds and help keep them clean and beautiful.

Happy hunting, and good luck to everyone searching for the Corn Capital Days token!
