This morning a tornado ripped through the main vendor area for Oz-Stravaganza!, taking down many tents and forcing the festival to come to an early close.  At the time of this post, there have been no identified injuries. 
 

Munchkin autograph opportunities have been moved to the American Legion on Legion Drive, in Chittenango.  The munchkins will be available to sign autographs there from 1PM until 5PM.  However, another key event for the weekend, Emerald City Idol, is in the process of being rescheduled for a later date.  All other events have been cancelled.  All vendors have closed and are leaving the park.

 
"We were looking up at the clouds, and one cloud looked very strange.  Then we

 realized what we were seeing was debris flying in the funnel of a tornado.  We held down the back of our tent, or it would have flown away like the others."

"We are sad to see it come to an early end; but, we did

 

really well the first two days. We'll be back next year, for sure." - Anonymous Vendor

 

When a date is scheduled for Emerald City Idol, it will be posted here on the Oz-Stravaganza! Website.  Locks of Love will also take place on that same day.
