LAKELAND, Fla. (WFLA) A new sculpture in Polk County has people doing a double-take.
Its the annual sculpture exhibit in downtown Lakeland and one of those sculptures is getting mixed reviews.
The leg lamp sculpture, called Ill Shoot Your Eye Out, is based on the 1983 movie, A Christmas Story, and it certainly is raising a lot of eyebrows
