Super sleuth Madison Pollock found the hidden medallion after just two clues during Hermiston’s National Night Out treasure hunt.

Inside a small treasure chest, the bounty was hidden at a makeshift rock trading post under an information board at the Oxbow Trail.

After discussing the clues with her mother-in-law, Tracey Pollock, and her grandmother, Connie Ferranti, the Hermiston woman, along with her children, Clarabell, 4, and Lane, 1, headed out early in the morning on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, to search.

As the winner of the treasure hunt, the Hermiston Police Department and city of Hermiston will host an ice cream social block party in her grandmother’s East Quince Avenue neighborhood on Tuesday, Aug. 2 during Hermiston’s National Night Out festivities.

Other community members are encouraged to organize neighborhood parties, cookouts or gatherings during National Night Out, an initiative that aims to connect communities with their neighbors and law enforcement. As available, city personnel and first responders will stop by and mingle.

Those planning a gathering are invited to provide time and location information to Cpl. Tim Miears at 541-667-5112 or tmiears@hermiston.or.us.
