Steamboat briefs: Annual hunt for Yule Log begins today

The annual Christmastime tradition of hunting for the Yule Log begins Monday in Steamboat Springs. Find the first clue in the Happenings section on page 7 in the newspaper. Clues will be listed in Happenings each weekday morning for 10 days or until the log is found. Here are some tips for your search:

■ The 3-foot-long, 50-pound log is hidden somewhere in Steamboat Springs and marked “Yule Log” in red writing.

■ Clues will lead readers from the spot of last year’s log at Casey’s Pond to this year’s hiding spot.



■ The log will be hidden within city limits and at least a portion of it will be visible from its hiding place. The log will not be on private property, inside of a building or in an area that charges a fee to enter.

■ When the log is found, alert the Tread of Pioneers Museum immediately at 970-879-2214. The log must be presented in person to claim the $150 Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association gift certificate and framed plaque.



Happy hunting!
