[October 20, 2015] MASON
CITY - Fire up the flux capacitor—“Back to the
Future Fest” is speeding at 88 mph into the Arlee
Theater at 139 S. Main Street in Mason City, on
Saturday, October 24, 2015!
|
Starting at 10 a.m. with a parade featuring appearances from
vehicular members of the DeLorean Midstate Club (as well as some
other top-secret stars), the full movie trilogy will begin at
the Arlee at 11 a.m. …even if the clock tower doesn’t strike any
chimes.
The parade will begin at the pavilion at the intersection of
Jefferson & Morgan, heading north on Main Street to the Arlee.
Anyone interested in participating in the parade should contact
the Arlee in advance.

Costumed attire is encouraged—in fact, a costume contest
featuring each era visited by the series (1885, 1955, 1985, and
2015) will have fabulous prizes that have been generously
donated by Family Video, Guzzardo’s Italian Villa, Bonanza, as
well as hover boards courtesy of the Banner Times, Rickard Lawn
Care, and 1st State Bank of Mason City.

Nikles Chevrolet-Buick will even be giving away a 1/24th scale model
DeLorean! Additional prizes, generously donated by area businesses
including Hernan’s Plumbing & Heating and the Dew Drop In Cafe, can
be won through trivia questions during intermissions between shows.
Some of the town’s restaurants will be offering menu specials that
reflect aspects of this time-hopping franchise.
