North Carolinas Land Of Oz Fall Festival Will Have Tickets On Sale Soon
The Land of Oz theme park was closed for many years. Now the park opens its gates to host special events several times a year.
According to WSOC-TV, the park is located in Beech Mountain, North Carolina. It will have its annual Autumn at Oz Festival on the weekends of September 8-10, September 15-17, and September 22-24.
The fall festival is themed around “The Wizard of Oz.” This festival will include live performances, other entertainment, food, and craft vendors.
On June 16th tickets will go on sale. These tickets cost $55 (plus taxes and processing fees). However, admission is free for children two and under. In the past, this event has sold out fast. It is good to get tickets early while you have the chance. Event parking is at Beech Mountain Ski Resort at 1007 Beech Mountain Parkway.
Some other things to keep in mind about this event:
- The event tends to sell tickets for shuttle boardings that are time-specific.
- The park was built in 1970. Due to this, there are uneven paths, stairs, and speed ramps that make it not wheelchair or stroller friendly.
- To ride the ski lift to the park you must buy a ticket separately.
- To gain access to the observation deck you must buy a ticket separately

10 Cozy Bedrooms From Movies
The oldest bed ever discovered dates back some 77,000 years, according to the BBC. Found in South Africa, it’s made of woven reeds and rushes, which were covered by a thick layer of insect-repellant leaves. Measuring 2 square meters, or about 21.5 square feet, archeologists say the simple bed would have been large enough to hold an entire family and likely would have been quite comfortable.
Unlike what we’re used to today, however, the bed would have been in the central part of the family’s living space. Bedrooms, or designated sleeping areas, didn’t really begin to develop until the 17th century when architecture began to shift away from an open sequence of communal rooms to a nest of private rooms. Even in ancient Rome, where the wealthy would sometimes have separate alcoves for their beds, the rooms were nothing more than small, doorless cells tucked off of a central atrium.
Today, bedrooms are one of the most important aspects of the home. Whether an owner’s suite or a small guest space, bedrooms are no longer just places for sleep, but cozy havens that afford privacy and allow a retreat from the demands of life. In light of that history, and in honor of the role bedrooms play in modern life, Sunday Citizen compiled a list of 10 cozy bedrooms from movies. From opulent bedchambers fit for a queen to midcentury modern rooms that are more utility than luxe, you’re sure to agree that these bedrooms are the ideal place to catch some zzz’s.
