CHESTERTON, Ind. - Giant ruby slippers will hover over Chesterton when a hot-air balloon marking the 70th anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz" visits the city.
The green balloon will be on display Sunday at the Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve in the city about 35 miles southeast of Chicago.
The balloon is 75 feet tall and 55 feet in diameter. It depicts the red shoes worn by Judy Garland's character Dorothy, the Yellow Brick Road and 30-foot-high images of the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion.
The balloon's appearance is part of a national tour commemorating the film. It has made stops in Kansas, California, Ohio and Nevada so far.
Chesterton will host its annual Oz Festival Sept. 18-20.
