behind it all,

but the news that Mr. Whittmore

has hidden a treasure chest

containing a sizable amount

of his estate

has officially been released.

Do you think it was a final ploy

to increase tourism in this

town he loved and called home?

Culver doesn't need any more

tourists during the summer.

We do fine already.

But it is buried here in Culver.

Yes.

And Mr. Whittmore hid clues

to help one

lucky individual find it'?

That's right.

Well, I think we can expect

our little town

to get a bit busier

over the next few days.

I'm Daisy Larson,

Channel 11 News.

Now, Mr. Whittmore was known

for being an inventor,

but he was actually a very

accomplished businessman.

In fact, he gave loans

to other businessmen

hoping to better the community.

Have you ever been

to Whittmore's root beer stand'?

No. No'?

Well, Mr. Whittmore

gave a man named Fritz Bronson

a sizable loan

to start the root beer stand.

With your contributions

I'd like to open

a root beer stand

where patrons can enjoy a nice

cold beverage during the summer.

That sounds like the best

idea I've ever heard.

He just loved the idea

of seeing the community flourish.

He wanted that to be his legacy.

All right.

The root beer stand

was very popular.

But Fritz was always looking

for a way to make more money.

So he wanted to sell the root

beer stand to turn a profit.

But Dr. Whittmore didn't want

something that the community enjoyed

to go away,

so he bought it from Fritz.

I've never had root beer.

You've never had root beer.

Okay, I don't even know

what to say to that.

I'm going to take you.

I think I'm allergic.

Maybe you will meet some new

friends and they can take you.

I don't think people

like me here.

Why would you say that'?

This boy kind of threw me

in the lake.

That's the guy.

Oh, Billy Bronson.

It's pretty late. Sorry,

I lost track of time.

I don't think you should be

hanging out with kids like Billy.

Okay. Tiffany, if you don't learn

to function without that thing,

your brain is going

to turn into mush.

Tiffany. Yeah.

Why would you want

to hang outwith people

who think it's cool to throw

kids in the lake'? Jackie!

You whiny little tattletale.

Billy just said

they were having fun.

That is your brother.

Just leave me alone, okay'?

I don't even want to be here.

You know, just because

Mom and Dad are too busy for us

doesn't mean they

just dump us here.

Okay, that's unfair.

Life is unfair.

They're not too busy.

Maybe we all

just need some sleep.

Come on.

Get dressed.

Grandma needs an oil change.

My pontoon boat,

I named her Grandma

after my grandma.

She needs an oil change.

Get dressed.

Yeah. What was I
