NORTHWOOD, IA -- In perhaps their most famous song, Twisted Sister says that they're "not going to take it anymore." But can the same be said for Algona?
According to Phil McCormick, the Iowa ABATE State Coordinator, people have been asking him if he'd be willing to bring Rock Gone Wild back to the ABATE grounds. One of the show's former owners, Natalie Faghihi, is one of the people approaching McCormick. The coordinator also points out that none of the people contacting him are directly tied to Rock Gone Wild, including promoter Donnie Frizzell.
McCormick says that the event's promoter breached a contract the two sides had several weeks ago and that the matter is still going through the legal process.
While lawyers are hashing out the disputed contract, McCormick says he is meeting with his lawyer today to talk about the possibility of Rock Gone Wild returning to Kossuth County.
McCormick says that it would be difficult to bring the event back to ABATE but possible. Set up time for the event would take about a week.
Meanwhile, Algona's Chamber of Commerce tells KIMT News 3's Cole Mathisen that Frizzell has told them to suspend ticket sales indefinitely.
Officials with Winnebago say they have not been approached regarding the possible use of the WIT Rally Grounds in Forest City.
