2025 Crosslake Days Search for the Lost Chili Pepper

Description

We're kicking off Crosslake Days with a fun family and friends activity!  Round up the gang and get outside to search for the Crosslake Days Lost Chili Pepper! Somewhere within the City limits of Crosslake lays, hangs, dangles, or sits the Lost Chili Pepper!  One of three clues will be released daily beginning Thurs. Sept. 27th at 9 a.m. to guide you to its location.  

The pepper will NEVER be located on private residential property, and NO DESTRUCTION or DISASSEMBLY of ANYTHING is necessary to find it.  Please heed and be respectful of this statement.  

Find it, present it at Lake Country Crafts & Cones (36084 CR 66) and cash in on a prize basket valued at thousands courtesy of Crosslake Chamber member businesses! 

Download the Crosslake App for quick access to Crosslake Days information, Lost Chili Pepper clues, and event information year-round!
