Remember 1985? That was the year Brownsville Oregon became Castle Rock. Brownsville Oregon celebrated the 25th anniversary of Stand By Me. Hard to believe it was that long ago! It feels like a really long time ago since the 80's were to me what the 50's were to Stephen King and my parents generation.

In an article titled, "Movie shot in Brownsville still 'Stands' 25 years later" Justin Much says, "The event also hosted an obligatory blueberry pie eating contests, consistent with one of the movie’s memorable scenes. Gordie Lachance played Lardass, the boy who consumed castor oil before gorging on blueberry pies and spewing revenge on those who had tortured and bullied him mercilessly over the years."
