The Grand Medallion has been found.

Last year's Fair Queen, along with some of the 2013 Fair Queen candidates and the Benton County 4-H Council, were among the volunteers who helped with games. 

Hundreds lined up for free hot dogs and chips before riding bikes, scooters, wagons and other small vehicles in the Kiddie Parade.

The Schmidt Family Band and Lizzie Moen sang. 

These were just a few of the events from Thursday night of Party in the Park, as the traditional events filled the Farmers Bank parking lot for the community picnic and the courthouse lawn after the Kiddie Parade. 

High school sweethearts and 2013 VSHS graduates Grant Sagan and Beth Sauer found the Grand Medallon after Duane Randall read another clue. The coupe found it under a small mound of dirt under a bush in the grassy area near the Iowa Braille School.

Events continued at Riverside Park through Saturday.
