Join us for our 2025 convention! This year’s event promises an unforgettable experience in Aberdeen, South Dakota, where the Baum family once lived. Our opening reception is set in a gallery filled with original Oz art. The K.O. Lee Public Library’s L. Frank Baum Collection includes treasures to be found nowhere else. We’ll enjoy a private tour of area Baum sites with a visit to the Land of Oz during the annual Storybook Festival together with presentations by leading Baum authorities, a concert of Baum songs, a gala Saturday dinner, and so much more. Whether you’re a lifelong Oz enthusiast or discovering Oz for the first time, you’ll find friendship, fun, and fascinating insights at every turn. Don’t miss this chance to connect with fellow fans, explore Oz history, and celebrate Baum’s enduring legacy. Sign up today and follow the Yellow Brick Road to Aberdeen.
As a special treat, the first 25 registrants get a free copy of the Oz in Aberdeen catalog of the library’s collection, and the first 40 registrants get a copy of the Aberdeen Mother Goose in Prose.
