THE WIZARD OF OZ

Join us November 14-16, 2025 for OCCUPATION: MURDER!, a slapstick comedy direct from the set of a ‘70s game show. When the show’s sponsor, Tony Fabrizi, turns up dead, the game show “It’s a Living!” takes on a whole new meaning.
Tickets are now available; all proceeds benefit the Gil Morrison Memorial Scholarship Foundation.

THE GIL PICKLE
For nearly 20 years, the Morrison family, along with a board of committed leaders and community volunteers, grew the annual Gil Pickle from a backyard summer cookout to a weekend of festivities including camping, live music, a robust silent auction, kids’ play area and much more. With a new theme each year, the summer party was the first event to help raise scholarship funds for what would become the Gil Morrison Memorial Scholarship Foundation.
