Here Are Your Hints!

🦌 Dancer

Prepare to embark on a grand quest into a sparkling snowy wonderland! The last glimpse of Dancer revealed him elegantly twirling through the frost covered fields, striving to kick a ball to score a goal and toss a wooden baton with his sporty companions. Alas, fate had other plans, and the endeavor did not unfold as he envisioned! In a moment of whimsy, he mused that hosting a Reindeer Olympics might bring joy to this enchanting realm.

🦌 Comet

In the enchanting embrace of the park, Comet resides amidst a variety of delights—playgrounds, tennis courts, melodies, and more. This grassy covered park is steeped in a rich history of gatherings and celebrations. It’s grounds were a cherished gift in the quest to transform Eau Claire into a "City of Parks." As you travel along the meandering path, you may just stumble upon Comet, lounging in his magic hammock.

🦌 Prancer

Prancer’s enthusiasm was infectious, drawing a crowd of curious onlookers who cheered and laughed at the delightful spectacle. Children giggled as they watched him attempt to dribble the ball against one of Santa’s elves, his hooves tapping rhythmically against the court. It was quite the “Shaw-down”. Even the local news station showed up to capture the unusual yet heartwarming event.

🦌 Blitzen

Blitzen's sudden disappearance has sent ripples of concern through the community, especially during a season that typically brims with cheer and celebration. As the jester of joy, Blitzen often reminisces about the old canning factory tucked on the west bank of the Chippewa River.

🦌 Dasher

Oh dear! Dasher, where have you wandered off to?! Last spotted at this shady park, swinging away at a baseball, he brought joy to the ball diamond. With the nearby playground, it made for a delightful place to frolic and play!

🦌 Donner

Donner is unaccounted for, lost in a realm where countless youth baseball and softball games unfold. Perhaps he ventured into the tangled brush piles on his way to the fields, seeking adventure among the greenery.

🦌 Rudolph

Rudolph has mysteriously disappeared! This park, once renowned for its luscious greenhouses and vibrant gardens, transforms in winter into a wonderland of frosty delights, where skates glide, pucks soar, and nets await.

🦌 Cupid

The lovebird himself, Cupid, was spotted soaring across the highway and landing in this park! With a treasure map of shopping spots around, he was last seen gracefully sledding down the hill, chasing the sunset like a heart-struck dreamer!

🦌 Vixen

Help! Vixen is missing. While he was at the park, he heard sirens that nearly knocked him out of his hooves! His thought? Maybe join them on the next call and take over his dream of fighting the flames. He also thought about putzing down the hill to join them on the call!

🧑‍🎄 Mrs. Claus

Mrs. Claus has pulled off a dazzling disappearing act! The last time we caught a glimpse of her, she was busy renting a magical vessel right here on this peninsula. But hold your sleigh bells—this magical craft might not shine as bright with the lake all frozen over! Perhaps she may take up a different activity, ice fishing!

🎅 Santa

Oh dear, the enchanting Santa, a figure of wonder and joy, has vanished! The last whispers of his presence nestled near a neighborhood of industrial services. Santa ventured into a realm reminiscent of the whimsical countryside. Though this charming locale may evoke visions of pastoral farms, not a single creature of the barnyard has graced this land. Instead, one finds vibrant basketball courts, a welcoming shelter, and a delightful playground awaiting discovery!
