2017 Horseshoe has been FOUND!
Mark Halmrast and his 3 children, Daniel, Sarah and Jacob found the horseshoe late last night. They are 18 year residents and this is their first time hunting for the horseshoe. Mark said, "This was a fun family event that the whole family really got into it. They enjoyed discussing the hard clues and the 4th one unlocked the puzzle for them. They felt more connected to the community, and we look forward to their riding on the DPHS float in the parade on Saturday at 11:00l" Congratulations to the Halmrast family.
