"A Christmas Story" 25th anniversary exhibit draws thousands of visitors
More than 16,400 people have toured the exhibit since it opened Thanksgiving weekend, said Erika Scheeringa, community and public relations manager of the Lake County Convention and Visitors Bureau. On a recent weekend, when the center hosted a "Mommy's Little Piggy" eating contest as part of the exhibit, more than 4,000 people came through. . .
The exhibits showcase his adventures. "Flick's Tongue and the Triple Dog Dare" is where Ralphie's best friend, Flick, gets his tongue stuck to an icy pole; "It's a Major Award," features the infamous leg lamp that Old Man Parker wins; "Santa's Mountain at Higbee's" shows where an elf pushes Ralphie down a slide with his foot; "The Bumpus Hounds" devour the Parkers' Christmas turkey dinner; and the "Parker Living Room" features Christmas night.
