Details on Collectibles & Autographing
On Friday
Caren Marsh Doll and Karl Slover will autograph at no additional charge copies of their books and photographs purchased directly from them. They will also autograph at no charge, one copy per person of the benefit program book for Westchester Neighbors Food Pantry and one other item per person.
Because of demand and out of courtesy for others,
a charge will be made for all additional autographs.
On Friday, Saturday & Sunday
Noted poster artist Rick Ewigleben created his first Tribute to Oz poster in 2003. He is unveiling the sixth in his series exclusively for us this weekend. He is autographing all five posters at no additional charge. The 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, & 2007 posters are a limited edition of 200 each and few are remaining. Rick will also autograph his photo in your souvenir program book to benefit the Westchester Neighbors Food Pantry at no additional charge.
The Oz Fantasy Museum
Be sure to visit The Yellow Brick Road’s unique but small Oz Fantasy Museum while you’re visiting Munchkinland Market Days. The museum collection includes photos of many Oz celebrities —many of them autographed—as well as scores of Oz collectibles. The museum items have been donated by many of the actors who played Munchkins in the MGM classic, Margaret Hamilton (who played the Wicked Witch of the West) and other celebrities. Other items have been collected at various sales and auctions or donated by residents of the Chesterton area. One of the more unique items is an actual piece of the yellow brick road from MGM’s Munchkinland set. During Munchkinland Market Days
small donations are requested to tour the museum.
Picture taking welcome!
Take a photo with a celebrity!
