Our own Amy Marrotte stopped by Fox 43 AM Live with Dane Kroll to give Wamego's fall lineup the spotlight it deserves, and honestly? This season is stacked. ๐Ÿ‚

First up: OZtoberFest is back on ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†, ๐—ข๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿฏ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ in downtown Wamego! Follow the Yellow Brick Road to a free, all-day celebration packed with an OZ Costume Contest, Toto Look-a-Like Competition, classic car show, arts and crafts market, food trucks, and a Beer and Wine Garden along Lincoln Ave. Plus, this year the world's tallest Toto statue makes its debut. Yes, really.

Then, on ๐—ข๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฒ๐˜๐—ต, the curtain rises on The Addams Family musical at the historic Columbian Theatre, running through November 1st. Wednesday Addams has fallen for a "normal" young man and chaos (the best kind) ensues. And our very own Amy is in the cast, playing an ancestor role in the Addams family tree!

Classic Hollywood charm, a legendary festival, and a show you won't want to miss. Come spend fall with us in Wamego! ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŽญ

John Fricke, the world's foremost historian on The Wizard of Oz and Judy Garland, will join OZ fans live for an intimate, interactive virtual colloquy โ€” streaming directly to OZ Winery for a night of rare stories, hidden Hollywood history, and real conversation.

Ask your most compelling questions. Hear the details that never made it into the books. Share the room (and a glass of wine) with fellow devotees who love the OZ universe as deeply as you do.

Your ticket includes:
๐Ÿท A glass of wine paired with artisan bites
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ An entry to win a one-year subscription to John Fricke's Patreon

Seating is strictly limited to preserve the intimate atmosphere that makes this evening special. This is not a lecture hall โ€” it's a private audience, and there are only so many seats at the table.

See the link in comments for your tickets!

Oz Uncorked takes place at OZ Winery on the Friday evening before OZtoberFest. Advance tickets are highly recommended โ€” once they're gone, they're gone. ๐ŸŒˆ

There's no place like OZtoberFest and this year we're making it more magical than ever. โœจ

Mark your calendars for October 3rd, 2026, because we're pulling back the curtain on brand-new Oz and Wicked artifacts, plus the city is revealing a giant 15-foot Toto statue that makes all the other Totos in town look like they're from Munchkinland. ๐Ÿ•

Whether you've followed the yellow brick road your whole life or Wicked was your entry into this universe, this celebration was made for you. Will you join us? ๐ŸŒˆ

We are so glad you are here, friends! As summer winds down and back-to-school season begins, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who visited us this summer and made the OZ Museum part of their most cherished memories.

Every dollar you spend at the OZ Museum or in our online gift shop goes directly to support our non-profit's mission: keeping the magic of L. Frank Baum's Wizard of Oz alive and well for generations to come.

From the yellow brick road to the Emerald City and everything in between, your support means the world to us.

There's no place like the OZ Museum, and there's no community like ours. Thank you for being here. ๐Ÿ’›โœจ

No heart? No problem. The OZ Museum in Wamego, Kansas is basically a two-hour reminder that you had one all along.

Walk through Auntie Em's gift shop and follow the yellow brick road past 2,000 artifacts, original 1939 MGM props, hand-jeweled ruby slippers, a real flying monkey miniature, and the death certificate of the Wicked Witch of the East (yes, that's a thing). By the time you're done, you'll feel it ticking again.

Just off I-70 on "The Road to Oz" in Wamego, KS. There's really no place like it. ๐Ÿ’›
