Who's Mommy's Little Piggy?
Hammond, Indiana, home of Ralphie Parker, the beleaguered boy hero of A Christmas Story, is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the movie. This Saturday, as part of the festivities, kids (and adults, if they want to join the over-18-year olds) can reenact the scene where Ralphie's brother, Randy, eats his mashed potatoes and meatloaf like a little piggy. Registration for the mashed-potato-eating contest starts at 10 am at the Welcome Center, at 7770 Corrine Drive in Hammond. And remember, contestants: no hands allowed when you tuck into your plates of mashed potatoes.
