GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota hometown of Judy Garland, the actress who wore a pair of ruby slippers in "The
Wizard of Oz
," is raising money to purchase the prized footwear
after it was stolen from a local museum and then later turned
over to an auction company.

Grand Rapids, Minnesota, where the late actress was born in
1922, is fundraising at its annual Judy Garland festival, which
kicks off Thursday. The north Minnesota town is soliciting
donations to bring the slippers back after an auction company
takes them on an international tour before offering them up to prospective buyers in December.
