Hidden Treasure
A legend surrounds the gentleman who originally built the giant castle today used as the Round the World headquarters. He was supposedly an old bootlegger from the 1920s, and customers often paid the old patriarch with food and other goods. He was also paid in precious gems, gold and silver. The family legend was that he hid the treasure somewhere on the premises but no one knew where. Was it under the enchanted gnarled oak tree, or inside the walls of the castle? We’ve assembled an expert committee and brainstormed a number of possible treasure hiding places, which hypotheses we will be testing. We are also calling in a couple dozen gemnologists to extol the various types of lucre we hope to be awash in.
