WE'RE HERE TO SEE THE WIZARD!
September 12-14, 2008
What is the Indiana Wizard
of Oz Festival, you ask? Well if you have never been here before, get ready for a surprise! Come experience the Oz magic!
We feature the actual actors who played the Munchkins in the 1939 movie classic "The Wizard of Oz!" Yes, real Munchkins and
Munchkins by Marriage! And if that isn’t exciting enough we have award-winning authors and notable Oz memorabilia collectors.
Plus a whole gaggle of costumed characters, which smaller attendees are sure have just stepped down from the movie screen.
We have Dorothy and her three best friends. A few witches (a good one and a wicked one) and a wizard. Crafts and music and
collectibles, oh my! It isn’t humbug; Come and see for yourself! We encourage you all to come dressed as your favorite
Oz character.
