The annual horseshoe hunt takes place every year preceding Dan Patch Days. Starting May 30, a horseshoe is hidden somewhere within the city of Savage, on public property. Clues are available on the Dan Patch Historical Society's website (
http://www.danpatch.com/hunt-2025.html) and at the Savage Library. The annual horseshoe hunt has been proudly sponsored by the Dan Patch Historical Society since 1996.
⭐️ RULES ⭐️
1. Clues are given out each week that lead to the location of a special horseshoe hidden somewhere on "public property" within the City of Savage boundaries.
2. Whoever finds the horseshoe and has purchased a 2025 Dan Patch Days button prior to finding the shoe wins $100.
3. The lucky winner also gets to keep the commemorative horseshoe.
**2025 Dan Patch Days buttons will be available at Savage City Hall, the Savage Library, board members of the DPHS in May, or at the booth on Saturday, June 28.
⭐️ CLUES ⭐️
Each Friday, clues for the horseshoe hunt will be available here by 9 p.m. on this web site (
