Geocache Description:


      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.

Mason City

 Prestage Foods is building the most modern and technologically advanced pork processing plant in North Central Iowa.  Construction began in the spring of 2017 with the projected opening to be in late 2018.

But not in Mason City as they had proposed.  It was  a very controversial issue in Mason City at the time with many in favor of the industry that was to be located just South of Mason City near the Ethonal Plant.  There were also many opposed.  The council was split, they wanted to hear from their constituents.  Discussions could be heard from the coffee shops all the way to city hall.

Whether the right decision was made or not isn't what this cache page is about.  It's about the photo below, which is an example of one referencing the slogan from The Music Man into a protest.  "Ya Got Trouble, Right Here In River City".
