Brown Deer Community Foundation Announces 2024 Medallion Hunt:Café Corazon-Sponsored Event Promises Exciting Treasure Hunt and Grand Prize of $1,500

Brown Deer-- The Brown Deer Community Foundation is excited to announce the coordination of the 2024 Medallion Hunt, set to begin on Tuesday, May 14.

The medallion, crafted by local Brown Deer artist Jean Wells, will be hidden somewhere within Brown Deer. Clues to its location will be published through Brown Deer communication channels and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and North Shore Now every Tuesday and Friday until the medallion is found, with up to eight clues created for the hunt.

The medallion hunt is proudly sponsored by local restaurant Café Corazon. The medallion, designed to mimic the Café Corazon logo, will be a heart approximately 3 inches in diameter. The lucky individual who finds the medallion will receive a grand prize of $1,500 and a complimentary meal for four at Café Corazon’s location in Brown Deer.
 
The Foundation will work closely with Café Corazon to host a photo opportunity and ceremony recognizing the winner of the medallion hunt.  Stay tuned for more updates and happy hunting!

​Below are a few photos I took while making the medallion.  The clay medallion was hand sculpted, painted with underglaze, bisque fired, stained with red iron oxide, glazed with a clear satin glazed and then fired once more in the glaze kiln.
