Last year, Denni...Welcome to the Blogosphere Marc!<br /><br />Last year, Dennis drew me a picture of the Nome King (a major character in The Emerald City of Oz, which was last year's theme). He did it so fast - it was like magic!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing Dennis at this year's Oz-Stravaganza!<br /><br />When I moved to Chittenango, I had no idea about the rich history of the village. I had no idea L. Frank Baum was born here. I actually couldn't even have named him as the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I was amazed to learn there were so many books written by Baum on Oz. I'm pleased to see the tradition is continuing. <br /><br />Many folks come to our festival for the parade. Who doesn't love a parade? Some people are just Wizard of Oz fans - and they wouldn't miss it for the world. Of course there are those who bring their kids because of the amusement park rides - and cotton candy. And many people just come to shop the wares of expert crafters from all over. And there is so much more that goes on - it is hard to believe it all takes place from Friday to Sunday. But of everything - Author's Alley is, in my humble opinion - the greatest thing about our Wizard of Oz Festival! Oz-Stravaganza! did a great thing in establishing the author's alley.<br /><br />I look forward to the day when we run a weekend writing shop for aspiring writers! The energy in Chittenango is ripe for creativity!<br /><br />I can't wait!<br /><br /><br />KenKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750313768285257990noreply@blogger.com
