The Freedom Fest Medallion Hunt has a new spin this year, with one lucky contestant that will win $500 next week, courtesy of WCMP! Listen daily to 100.9FM the week of June 24-28 to clues given out during the First Thing in the Morning Show with Mike Hughes. The clues will lead our listeners to one hidden medallion each day – for a total of five hidden medallions throughout the week. Then, on Saturday, June 29, at the Pine County Fair Grounds, each of those five medallion finders will be eligible for the grand prize of $500 to be determined in a random drawing at 11am. You have a 1-in-5 chance of winning this year at the Freedom Festival in Pine City!
