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
In 1958, as had been the custom for several years, the culmination of the festival was the amassing of all the bands ... all 87 of them in this year ... on the high school football field (Roosevelt Field) for a mass concert under the guidence of a guest conductor.
No picture could be located of an actual event at the old Roosevelt Field, this photo is a depiction of how it may have looked.
