Willie Bittner joins La Crosse Talk telling us how he helped find this year's Oktoberfest medallion, along with his friend Kerry Pischke and the kids. 

It took seven clues to find it, which happened on Sunday. We talk about those clues and tried to pry some secrets out of Bittner on just how to decipher them, as this was the second time he's found the medallion — the first being back in 2013, atop Grandad Bluff.
