Clue #1
Twice now you’ve searched through Magrath’s Garden City,
For a rock with a label, that’s worth quite a kitty.

With clues and with riddles that you shouldn’t ignore.
You’ll need the Red Book, if you don’t want to get beat,
Now let’s start with a view from six thousand high feet.

Clue #2
“It’s yours to have, and yours to hold,
As years may come, and time unfold,
May all with pride and joy behold
Magrath, ‘The Garden City’.”
Artists and poets abound in Magrath’s history,
Perhaps one of them will help solve this new mystery.
Maybe a guitarist of no real renown,
Who served as a councilman for our great town.
Search through the book and decipher the clues,
And for sure it’ll be you making the news.

Clue #3
It’s true that these first clues have been vague,
But what’d you expect on day one, a white flag?
The key is the book and the book is the key,
With memories and facts, it’s a true tapestry
Of life in our town, a preserved memory.
Before sleep comes and gets you, let’s all try and sort
Through the clubs and the businesses and even the sports.

Clue #4
A new day, a new search, come put on your shoes
And get out on the town and start paying your dues.
And just for a lark, I’ll help narrow your search,
The rock is hidden in town but can’t be seen from a church.
For research I’d look for a drawing by Carol Raasch,
It’s found in your book and depicts quite the splash.

Clue #5
Our town looked a bit different, back in 1981
Points of interest have changed and some are just done.
The blacksmith and bakery and Lila’s sweets shop,
Live only in memories now but were once on the top.
A grand opening occurred the year of our book, yes that is true
Research the what and the where and especially the who.

Clue #6
At this point I hope you are on hot on the trail,
If not, this next hint might help you not fail.
A family moved to town in 1977,
In hopes that Magrath would prove to be heaven.
As councilor and chairman, he made a great life,
But it’s not him we’re concerned with, oh no, it’s his wife.

Clue #7
Colleen Cutler was born far away in Penticton
And in Magrath she raised a family with love and conviction.
A sleuth will discover where her efforts were placed
A location no longer active but still a useable space.
Many sports have been played on these grounds over the years,
Between skating and tennis there’s been plenty of cheers.

Clue #8
Has the rock not been found yet? Well clearly not,
It’s hidden below the hill, on a now empty lot.
50 paces or so to the north and the west,
From the gates of the court, you’ve all failed this test.
With the book and the hints, I hope you’ve all learned some more
About Magrath’s history and a new desire to explore.
