The Wichita Eagle Virtual Medallion Hunt

Sponsored by: The Wichita Eagle and Suzuki of Wichita

Get ready to test your clue-solving skills. The contest is a
virtual hunt, with daily clues leading to a description of a Wichita location. There's no physical medallion to uncover, so the sky
is truly the limit for the secret location. Each participant must register at www.kansas.com or in person at The Wichita Eagle
to submit a guess. Participants are allowed only one guess each, with rewards for being the first to guess correctly - so you'll need to decide just how sure you are before you submit your answer. All contestants who submit the correct location will be entered into a drawing for a new car from Suzuki of Wichita. Contest begins May 2 with clues in The Wichita Eagle, Kansas.com and KSN and will end on May 12. The grand prize winner will be drawn during the Riverfest Block Party on May 14.
Look in The Wichita Eagle or on www.Kansas.com
for contest details!
