Princess Ozma

Confirmed - 2011

 This is the 26th Annual return of Princess Ozma as the Royal Ventriloquist performs her Puppet Show with guest stars Sassy Ann, Teddy Bear, Naughty Dog and Patchwork Dragon.

Princess Ozma (actress/ventriloquist Elaine Macejak—but don’t reveal that to the kids) first appeared in Chesterton at The Yellow Brick Road Gift Shop in 1984 during the Wizard of Oz Festival. The next year she was asked to host the family-oriented Teddy Bear Tea Party when it was first sponsored by downtown Chesterton’s Katie’s Ice Cream Parlor, which continued to sponsor for more than a decade. The Princess has hosted every Teddy Bear Tea Party since with the help of her puppets Sassy Ann and Teddy Bear. There have been a variety of sponsors and locations. In 2007 and 2008, the Teddy Bear Tea Party was hosted again at The Yellow Brick Road Gift Shop. Apologetically, Teddy Bear Tea Party will not be at the 28th Festival, however next year will Princess Ozma's return will continue on with the Teddy Bear Tea Party. Her act this year is a must see for the children.

Princess Ozma states that the fact that some children attend annually until their early teens and then often visit as guests for several more years. Many keep in touch by mail for years. She has received wedding and college graduation invitations from grateful adults who had attended many years as children.
