Photo from the Oz Parade in Chittenango, NY
Here's a shot from the parade we were in (see previous post). This is a tight shot - the float itself had another trailer attached to it that is not shown, there was a pickup truck pulling it with a frog band in the bed of the truck, and there were more frogs and Oz characters as well, but you get the idea. As we marched along they played the Macarena song, but they had some version that had frogs in it - it was pretty funny. I have only seen the Wizard of Oz Movie - I have never read the book. Or I should say, books. I was unaware that there are apparently a number of books written about Dorothy and the Land of Oz and one of the later books has frogs in it, thus the frogs as part of the float. I actually don't like the Wizard of Oz movie much at all. DD loves it though. I think it's kind of creepy. Especially the flying monkeys part.
The end.

I never read the books, never liked the movie very much. Too creepy.
I did know about the Ozstravanagnza, having gone through Chittenango about a month ago and saw a sign. I have been wanting to see the museum there, but we keep forgetting to check the hours. :S Some of my ancestors settled the area there.
This is so awesome! I've always wanted to do this, and now that we're closer and have a car, might just have to. I'm off to look at the previous post!
