(La Porte, IN) - Prancer Palooza, an event being held in La Porte to celebrate a 1989 Christmas movie filed in La Porte and the surrounding area, is mostly sold out.
The 35th anniversary celebration of the movie, which can still be seen on television during the holiday season, is scheduled to happen on December 15th at the La Porte Civic Auditorium. At the time this article was written, only reserved seating at two tables remain available.
La Porte Civic Auditorium Director Brett Binversie said all of the 1,600 or so tickets for seating at tables on the floor and seats in the balcony sold out Wednesday.
Cast members like Sam Elliott, who played the lead role in the movie, will be there along with John Hancock, who directed the film. Hancock lives in northern La Porte County.
Binversie said he’s not surprised tickets for the event have sold out because they were priced at $8 on the floor and $5 in the balcony.
“We knew it was going to sell out. It was just a matter of how quickly."
The movie, Prancer, will be shown during the event on a new LED screen purchased for the La Porte Civic Auditorium earlier this year. The doors will open at 1:30 p.m. with the movie starting at 3 p.m.
A question and answer session with cast members and Hancock will follow the showing of the movie.
