 Well, the film The Wizard of Oz was released in 1939 and years later, it's still celebrated. For this week's community spotlight, Haiti Clotter shows us how there's no place like Grand Rapids. For 42 years, the Grand Rapids community has celebrated their favorite daughter, Judy Garland, better known as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. After 78 years now, it's still recognized. It's so much a part of American culture. A Wizard of Oz festival was held at the Judy Garland Museum to honor the movie star and celebrate her 95th birthday. It was all things wizard. The day started with a dash for the Ruby Slippers 5K run. It definitely brings people in. Yeah. Come all over. It's definitely something to be proud of. There was an obstacle course and lots of children's activities. Dorothy is my favorite character. The Wizard of Oz is the Bacom's family favorite movie and they've seen it a thousand times. I think we're most excited to see the characters and the carriage rides. The unique campus has many attractions, including Garland's old home. The Judy Garland Gallery features a 2,000 Wizard of Oz collection and other artifacts from the film. This is the actual carriage in the film where Dorothy, Toto, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion go through Emerald City before meeting the Wizard. Of course, the Wicked Witch of the West was not far away. Rose Haney was at the festival with Truman, the same kind of dog as Toto. She says the movie teaches lessons in life. Don't judge people based on how they look. They might like the Tin Man. He said he didn't have a heart and the Lion thought he didn't have a carriage. And Toto, well, Toto was a hero.
