Contest
I’ve got a four-pack tickets to opening night of The Wizard of Oz! The show starts at 8:00pm at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.
To enter, in the comments, tell me which character you’d take on a wonderful adventure: Scarecrow, Tin Man, or Lion?
Contest closes Friday, February 12th at noon!
While I would enjoy the company of all of the characters at the opening, my family’s favourite is the lion. They empathise with his fears, as all children have insecurities. His example is also helpful for us raising children who are capable of managing fear. We’ve talked about how in spite of his cowardliness, the lion can be counted on through thick and thin, and really is the bravest of the bunch.
Plus, imagine the entrance we would make!
The Tin Man!
It’s a tough call so I will use a process of elimination. I wouldn’t take the lion because without courage we couldn’t do anything thrilling. I wouldn’t take the scarecrow because I would someone with a brain to be smart enough to keep us out of trouble. That means I would take the tin man. As a bonus he won’t have to go outside when it’s raining.
