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.
Band Fest
The Mason City Globe-Gazette on June 6th, 1958 proudly proclaimed in its banner headline: 5,000 Musicians Take Over River City. One of the highlights of that years festival was the "76" Trombones" entourage led by Meredith Willson.
