While some of us Lowell residents were scratching our heads and wondering where a Polish duck was in the city, out-of-town guests quickly honed in on the “basis” of the first clue which made them think of “bases” and ball fields. Ultimately, the medallion was found on the back of a foul line pole at Recreation Park. If you were at the fair this week, you were so close!
Here’s what else The Lowell Riddler sent us when announcing the winner and the answers behind the riddle:
