So CO Mistress has the Jingle Bell Rock!!

So my company is sponsoring the hunt this year and I get to babysit the rock at the shop tomorrow. If you wanna see it I will be at Northern and Pueblo Blvd with said rock tomorrow from 8am til noon. This has been an FYI brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Mistress.

 

Ohhhhh.

 

People are crazy about this rock...how weird

 

What are the prizes this year?

 

One of the prizes is 1000.00 dollars worth of pizza. How can anyone eat that much pizza? A grand or two in cash, 1500.00 gift certificate from the Castle ROck Outlet shops, 1000.00 in gasoline, like a grand of stuff from Harley Davidson, a honking huge diamond and some other stuff. Totally worth the search, imo.

 

Do you know if your store is going to get one of the extra clues?

When I worked at Do Drop, we had a little slip of paper and people came in all the time to get the clue.

 

yessss preciousss, we will. I will be the keeper of the xtra clue. All will bow before me!

 

?????

Please explain this to a non-Pueblonite!

 

The local radio station hides a river rock somewhere in the area and gives clues to its location. They start out vague and get progresssively more and more detailed. They hide it with its lettering upside down so you have to work very hard with clues, luck and brains to find it. IF you find it, you win a bunch of stuff.


Local tradition going back 30+ years. People take it pretty seriously.

People try to make fake rocks, steal the rock while its on display before the hunt, etc, etc. Tis funny.

 

Yeah, last year it got stolen and they had to make a quick replacemnt. In the past couple of years I have helped ppl with the clues. We were about 15 yards from it last year.

 

Wow, that's cool!

 

Let's see if you can clear up a rumor about the rock then. Is it true that they don't actually hide it until a night or two before the last night of the serach?

 

Actully they put it out the night before the first clue is given.

 

Hm.

Well, we can always try to pool our resources together and get it? Split the goods evenly or something. I remember while I was growing up the rock was only worth $1k, but hasn't it increased to around $5-10k?

 

Ill work with you on it zoom.

 

Yay. Loot.

When do they start posting clues?

 

A rock?
Colorado is wierd.

 

We actually have quite a lot of rocks out here. But this one's special.

 

Makes me want to take a trip up there for the hunt!

 

So is the rock hidden yet, or what? Only a few more days til Chrismakwanahanuka.
