The small town of Bugtussle, Alabama wakes up one morning to find a note taped to the front door of the town hall stating that the duly-elected mayor has resigned and left town. Later that day, a neferious character in a pin-striped suit shows up with a bill of sale for most of the town’s public spaces including the beloved Chessie Mae Memorial Park as well as Lake Pop. That evening, at the hastily called town meeting, dairy farmer Old McDonald, makes a bold suggestion that leads to the election of the best mayor that the town has had in 100 years. Follow along as Mayor Tom and his entourage of four-legged friends solve all of the town’s perplexing problems.
