         Cache Is Not At The Posted Coordinates

Mr. Toot is the mascot not only of the North Iowa Band Festival, but also for Mason City as a whole. His image has appeared on everything from T-Shirts to business cards to city light poles. Now his image also appears on the geocaching map just south of Mason City Iowa. Each of these puzzles will include a fact or story in theme with the art series. Some may also include a question or two for you to answer correctly to find the coordinates.

The Music Man

At some point during the second Broadway revival, Conan O'Brian was approached about playing the role of Harold Hill for a brief run, but he ultimately could not fit it into his schedule.  He says, on the DVD commentary track for the Simpsons episode "Marge vs. the Monorail", that it was the hardest choice he's ever had to make professionally, because The Music Man is one of his favorites.  O'Brien did, however, as host of the 2006 Emmy Awards, sing a parody version of "Ya Got Trouble" in his opening monologue targeting NBC and their slide in the ratings.

For anyone who would like to listen to O'Brien sing this parody press here

 

Poor quality video but it gives you the idea
