Join Princess Ozma of OZ and her Teddy Bears Sassy Ann and Teddy of OZ as they host a Teddy Bear Tea Party for the 24th Annual Wizard of Oz Festival.

Children of all ages are invited to attend and are encouraged to bring their favorite Teddy Bears dressed in their best OZ costumes. Ventriloquist Princes Ozma will entertain the children with a special play, and award prizes to the three bet dressed bears.

Refreshments will be served. Princess Ozma will also be featuring her new Wizard of Oz Book “Sassy Ann and Teddy Bear in Oz.”

The Tea Party is sponsored by Kenwal Steel. The Tea Party is held at the Westchester Public Library Service Center on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 1 p.m. and there is a 25 cent admission fee that will be donated to a local charity.
