Clue No. 2: Sunday, Feb. 16

Find this new edition,
And laugh all the way to the bank.

This year, as we know,
Push through and you’ll have me to thank.
Clue No. 4: Tuesday, Feb. 18
Finding joy in the frozen,
This year we’ve chosen,
A place that will make you dig in.
Don’t trust your eyes,
To discover this prize,
Get out there, it’s time to begin.
