Woodbury, a town known for its community spirit, has kicked off its 4th annual Winter Coin Quest, challenging residents to don their detective hats and embark on a three-week treasure hunt. According to the City of Woodbury's announcement, the event invites locals to search for three hidden coins, with one elusive acrylic keepsake concealed in a different park each week starting January 14.

The City of Woodbury has teamed up with the Woodbury Public Safety, Woodbury Community Foundation, and Woodbury Parks and Recreation to set up the treasure hunt. Those eager to join the quest can expect to quickly put on their boots and unravel a series of clues to be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday across the Woodbury MN Police, Fire EMS, and Woodbury Parks and Recreation Facebook pages. Keen hunters should note that the clues will be first released on social media and then appear on the city's website two hours later.

Hunters aren't just playing for the thrill of the chase; there is a tangible reward at the end. The individuals who unearth each coin won't only secure the original coin for their personal collection but will also bag $100 in gift cards to Woodbury businesses. But the spirit of the Coin Quest doesn't stop at material gain. In a move that showcases the town's sense of community, the Woodbury Community Foundation will also make a $100 donation to a local non-profit organization every time a coin is discovered.

Registration is not required for this frost-bound adventure. It is an open invitation to all residents of Woodbury to come together and enjoy some winter fun. The Coin Quest is more than just a medallion hunt; it's a way to deeply engage with the community and support local businesses and non-profits alike. Participants are reminded to keep a sharp eye out – the coins can be camouflaged, making them that much more challenging to find.
