DENVER — Clark Griswold will be celebrating the Christmas season in Colorado.
Chevy Chase will attend a 35th anniversary screening of "National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation" at Bellco Theatre in Denver on Wednesday, Dec. 11.
Comedy Works Entertainment is hosting the evening of holiday cheer and laughs which includes a screening of the 1989 Christmas classic, followed by a live conversation and Q&A with Chase and his wife Jayni.
Organizers said Chase and Jayni will share their behind-the-scenes stories and personal anecdotes about the making of "Christmas Vacation" and take questions from the audience.
Tickets for the Bellco Theatre screening will go on sale Friday, July 12, at 8 a.m. at AXS.com.
A post-show photo opportunity with Chase is included with the purchase of all "P1" tickets at AXS.com.
Last year after several round of voting, "Christmas Vacation" was chosen as the best Christmas movie in the annual 9NEWS Christmas Movie Bracket for the fifth time in six years.
If some scenes in "Christmas Vacation" did not look remotely like the Midwest, it's because they were shot in Breckenridge and other parts of Summit County. According to GoBreck’s blog, filming took place in spring of 1989.
You know the Christmas tree cutting scene? That happened near the Breckenridge Golf Course near Tiger Road. The subdivision nearby hadn’t actually been built yet.
The sledding scene was filmed on Peak 8 in Breckenridge and Summit High School in Frisco was converted into a set for the old home videos scene.
The Summit County Elks Lodge in Silverthorne became the production's commissary where cast and crew ate their meals. The Lodge still has an autograph from star Chevy Chase from the shoot in Summit County.
