 Another sign that summer is here is the annual Bemidji JC's water carnival buttons have now gone on sale. The buttons are available at multiple occasions around Bemidji, such as Marketplace Foods, Subway, Orton's, Kenny's Clark, DeSauro and the Bemidji woolen mills. Now if you are considering taking part in the medallion hunt, the medallion button is a must have if you want to win the big grand prize. So if you plan on taking part in the medallion hunt, it's a really good idea to purchase the gold star button because then you can claim the $500 grand prize instead of just the $250 prize. That button is only available for a short amount of time and both buttons will get you into the entertainment tent. Now clues for the 73rd annual water carnival medallion hunt will be announced beginning Monday June 26th and will continue until the medallion is found prior to July 4th.
