For our virtual Valentines’ Day celebration, we’ll gather over Zoom Saturday, Feb. 12 at 7 pm central. Join us! There will be a link posted in our members-only section for the week prior, and a live link posted in this blog that evening.
Found online, so thanks to whoever these cute kids are in their two-person costume of Dorothy and Toto.
We’ll honor The Magnet of Love for the occasion. Zoe and Sean Berne have created a terrific recording of The Road to Oz using the Little Golden Books abridgment to introduce this marvelous magical device. And Josh Smith has recorded a performance of the song, “The Magnet of Love,” from the 1913 L. Frank Baum musical, The Tik Tok Man of Oz. We’ll also have a short look at collectible editions of The Road to Oz.
Ryan Jay will introduce “Heartless.” This 20-minute film is available on Youtube; we’ll watch it together and discuss. Throughout the evening participants will be introducing songs sung by or about the Tin Woodman. From Danny Thomas to Miranda Lambert, it’ll be a night of Tin Man Tunes.
As a show-and-tell theme, we’d love to have you bring your best idea for a two-person Oz costume! A photo, your own sketch, an image from an Oz book or film? Show us anyway you can. If there’s a favorite by popular vote, I’m happy to provide a prize. 
A quiz is in the works, we’ll have another valentine this year that you can print to give, and watch for a link to a digital jigsaw puzzle with a Tin Man theme. Food and drink recipes with an Oz theme are always welcome at Oz parties!
Although participation in our virtual events is intended to become an exclusive membership benefit, membership processing through the website went a bit haywire in January. Plenty of our faithful members have had difficulty renewing, so we’re staying open to all until we know that’s resolved.
