A CHRISTMAS STORY: Humorist Jean Shepherd’s memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the late 1930s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas.
Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself at Higbee’s Department Store. The consistent response: “You’ll shoot your eye out!”
All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family’s temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg in a net stocking; Ralphie’s fantasy scenarios and more.
A Christmas Story, a theatrical holiday treat! Directed by Frank Squillo

Hi folks – Jeff and the JW Merc roadside “pop-up” booth will be back in Wheeler one more time this year – on TUESDAY December 12th from at least noon until 4 pm.
Amongst many ‘gifty’ ideas both large and small – raw honey selections will include raw Star Thistle and Oregon Maple (pints and quarts only). Other NW-local choices include Pumpkin Blossom, Meadowfoam and some Coast Range Blackberry.
Real Vermont Maple Syrup can be in classic “jug” style or for a limited time round-glass jars (pints – $21 and quarts – $32). Organic chocolate sauce will be in tow – along with wholesome bee pollen and Pacific coast-caught Albacore Tuna in three pack sizes (from three separate OR/WA fishing boats)
To insure supply I would recommend pre-ordering (particularly those glass maple syrup jars) – send text directly to Jeff’s phone (208-424-0042, e-mail to jwmerc@gmail.com – or send and instant message thru the JW Merc Facebook page.
See you on TUESDAY DECEMBER 12th in WHEELER!!! JW
