Longwood Manor Waiting for Approval to be Open for the Wizard of Oz Festival
The Longwood Manor is waiting on the final word on when they can open to the pubic according to John Cassmer, president of the Longwood Manor Historical Society. According to John “the city electrician finished installing the emergency lighting in the public restrooms in the Manor, and we asked the Mayor of Macedonia for approval to have the Manor open to the public during the Wizard of Oz festival the weekend of Sept 23 – 24.”
John went on to say: “We had a meeting Wednesday with Angela Manley, the director of the Rec center and the event coordinator for the OZ festival. We came up with some really good ideas for activities we could have at the Manor and outside while the festival is going on.”
