July 23-25 2010: The Winkie Convention.
Join us for a wonderful Western weekend of Oz. The Forty-Seventh annual IWOC Winkie Convention, chaired by Robert Baum, Great Grandson of Royal Historian of Oz, L. Frank Baum, happens July 23-25, 2010, at the beautiful Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California.
The program honors the publication centennial of The Emerald City of Oz. We will follow L. Frank Baum as he prepared to conclude his series of Oz books with that title, and review the beautiful illustrations created for it by John R. Neill.
