If you caught Modern Family Episode 17 - Leap Day, you saw Mitchell's elaborately planned Wizard of Oz themed birthday party (featuring the wonders of Technicolor.)
Though the party was not meant to be, Mitchell's planner had evidently done her research.
Case in point: The "Tornado" Fan that blasts party guests as they enter. Despite the logo being "gaffed" this is actually the Vornado 783 Circulator.
Could the planner have known that the Vornado name is a combination of "Vortex" and "Tornado" because of the tornado-like airflow it produces?
Did she know that Vornado's headquarters is in Andover, KS - possibly only miles away from Dorothy's home?
Was she aware of the fact that it was actually built in Andover, KS - That the plastic exterior, blades and metal stand were also made in Kansas?
Or was she just happy that the adjustable base allowed the fan to rest comfortably above the Kansas-themed hay bales?
Or... did the fact that Cam (Eric Stonestreet) attended Kansas State University, in Manhattan KS, have something to do with all of this?
Regardless, Mitchell, IE the Modern Family writers, nailed the details of the Wizard of Oz party - the real question is, do they know how right they actually were?
