UPDATE: 10:49 a.m. The treasure has been found. It was found on a guy-wire at the corner of Washington and East North. It was a yellow piece of plastic that looked just like the guide wire cover that was already there. Emma Wooldridge, Abby Pieratt and Samantha Gregory were the winners.
If you enjoyed the hunt, make sure to check our story: Blossom at 30 to take a look back at the beginning of the festival.
