WAMEGO ? There aren’t many of them left, but five of the original Munchkins who appeared in the 1939 movie classic, “The Wizard of Oz,” will appear later this month during the start of Oztoberfest at the Oz Museum in Wamego.

The Munchkins are Mickey Carroll, Margaret Pellegrini, Meinhardt Raabe, Karl Slover and Clarence Swenson. Raabe just finished his autobiography, “Memories of a Munchkin.”

Oztoberfest is Friday through Oct. 16 at the museum in downtown Wamego.

The Munchkins will appear along with displays of the blue and white gingham dress word by Judy Garland, as Dorothy, and the pointed black hat worn by Wicked Witch of the West, Margaret Hamilton.

Among the other celebrity guests during Oztoberfest will be two great-grandsons of Oz author L. Frank Baum, and John Fricke who has produced documentary footage that will appear with a new DVD release of the Oz movie.
