A Christmas Story House & Museum is planning its fourth annual event to mark the occasion.

The 25th Anniversary Celebration & Convention will feature appearances by seven original cast members, the premiere of two documentaries about the movie, rides in the original movie fire truck, a BB gun range in the back yard of A Christmas Story House, special exhibits of original props used in the movie, and a speakers series featuring members of the cast and original production crew.

The celebration will take place Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 28-30) at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel and coincide with Cleveland's Winterfest. The Renaissance Cleveland Hotel is offering an all inclusive package deal from $169 for convention attendees. Click here for reservations.
