To be held Saturday, October 2nd and Sunday, October 3rd, 2010 from 10:00 to 5:00 p.m. and will be the 17th Anniversary!
Visitors can park in the meadows across from the Beech Mountain Town Hall and walk, or catch the bus, up to the private garden of OZ. The walk is approximately 1 gentle, uphill mile. Guests will take a tour of Aunt Em's and Uncle Henry's farm and meet Dorothy and friends along the Yellow Brick Road. The tour takes from 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and may be taken any time between 10 am and 5 pm. * Strollers and wheelchairs will need to be parked.
There will be a mini-museum to visit and artifacts to share. The bands will provide music, and Genesis Wildlife Sanctuary will exhibit a small petting zoo, adding more fun at the Farm.
There will be face painting, food treats, and special Oz concessions in "Kansas". New and old trivia will be available for purchase, with part of the money going back into upkeep and restorations.
Everyone is encouraged to wear something "Ozzie" and bring their photos and treasures to add to the event.
A special invitation is extended to past employees of Carolina Caribbean and the Land of OZ.
The price is $20.00, children under 3 free. We'll gladly take original yellow bricks or other park remains for trade.
A limited number of advance tickets are available at the Beech Mountain Chamber of Commerce, http://www.beechmtn.com . 800-468-5506.
