Monday, June 9 - Clue 1
The smoke is rising. The grills are hot.
Our annual hunt, a savory plot.
This year we're back, for number five.
Look to the heart, where community thrives.
No need to stray far, from festive cheer,
Your journey begins, both close and near.

Tuesday, June 10 - Clue 2
You've started the quest, with hunger and zest
For the bragging rights and prize, put to the test.
Think of green spaces, where laughter takes flight,
And children playing freely, from morning till night.
A place where friendships are made,
For family gatherings, a lively parade.

Wednessday, June 11 - Clue 3
You're getting so close, the excitement grows high,
Beneath open skies where eagles might fly.
Near the heart of our town, but not on the main,
A spot often visited, again and again,
Look for the signs of nature's embrace,
A leafy retreat in this bustling place.
