Ozapalooza (An Event for the Family at the Indiana Oz Fest)

For those of you attending the Indiana Oz Festival with your family (especially with young children) or if you're young at heart and want a fun experience, I suggest attending Ozapalooza at Zao Island in Valpraiso on Friday night. Ozapalooza is a funfair with games and fun for the entire family. Events include: a game of minature golf through the land of Oz, watch out for the Oz characters along the way, they love meeting new friends; Melt the Witch; Have your fortune read by Prof. Marvel; tidy up at the Wash & Brush Up Co.; a hot dog dinner and much more. Tickets are just $10 and include everything mentioned above. Children 2 and under are free. Got older kids? For an additional charge there are batting cages and go-karts. Forget paying $50 to go to Disney World and meet the characters, for a lot less you can meet 6 of the most famous characters in the world: Dorothy (and Toto too!), Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, Glinda, and the Wicked Witch.

(Yes, this has been a shameless plug for an event I am working on at the festival. It went over great last year and we all had fun doing it)
