2024 Crosslake Days Search for the Lost Chili Pepper
Saturday, September 28, 2024 (9:00 AM - 10:00 PM) (CDT)
Description
The 2024 Crosslake Days Chili pepper was found by Sam and Wendy Coward of Crosslake, next to a charred piece of wood at the new Pine River Overlook Park!
Round up the family 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 clue will be released daily beginning Thurs. Sept. 26th with the final clue on Sat. Sept. 28 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 over $5,000 courtesy of Crosslake Chamber member businesses!
