Autumn at Oz coming to Beech Mountain
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: September 29, 2009
Beech Mountain - Autumn at Oz will be held Saturday and Sunday at the former Land of Oz theme park at the top of Beech Mountain. Visitors may walk the Yellow Brick Road and meet Dorothy, the Tin man, Scarecrow, Lion, witches and other characters.
Tickets at the gate are $15, which includes parking. Children ages 2 and younger are admitted free. Tour times are 10 a.m. to noon, noon to 2 p.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday; and 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.
Because of the anticipated crowd, Saturday's admissions are broken down into times a visitor may get on a shuttle bus or hay wagon to Oz; it doesn't mean visitors are limited to two hours once there.
It can often be chilly or blustery at the top of the mountain, so visitors are encouraged to be mindful of the weather forecast and dress appropriately. A lot of children dress as their favorite Oz character.
The event is planned rain or shine. For more information, call the Beech Mountain Chamber of Commerce at 1-800-468-5506.
