Dazzling Night of Nativities and Carols coming
in 2 weeks |
|
November 20, 2015 |
Last year, at the first-ever Night of Nativities
and Carols in Boundary County, over 130
Christmas nativity scenes were on display in a
beautifully-decorated Christmas atmosphere.
Visitors to the evening's open house wandered
in and out, admiring a variety of nativity
scenes people had loaned for display that
evening.
The nativity scenes at last year's event were
beautifully displayed on tables surrounded with
Christmas lights, greenery, and lovely,
detailed, and very large Christmas-themed mural
backdrops painted by local artist Kathy Taylor.
Several of the nativity sets were from other
countries, including Germany, Jordan, Israel,
and others, including one from Uganda.
Throughout the evening, musical performances
entertained those attending. Performers switched
every 15-30 minutes, including vocalists, a
harpist, musical groups from the high school,
and others.
This year, the Second Annual Night of Nativities
and Carols is gearing for even more nativity
scenes to be on display--a lot more, as more
people learn about the annual holiday season
display, and how well-received it was last year.
"Last year was amazing, and we are excited for
this opportunity to remember the reason for the
Christmas season," said Lisa Carle, chief
organizer of the event.
This year's Night of Nativities and Carols is
coming up in about two weeks, scheduled for two
nights. Stop by to see the anticipated hundreds
of nativity scenes on either Friday, December 4
(from 5:00 until 9:00 p.m.), or Saturday,
December 5 (from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.).
Musical performances are again planned for the
evening.
This is an open house format. Those who attend
are free to wander around enjoying the nativity
scenes, drop by to listen to the music, perhaps
grab some refreshments, and continue wandering.
There is no set or fixed program.
The event will be held in the large cultural
hall area of the LDS Church on Alderson Lane in
Bonners Ferry. If you have a nativity scene you
would like to display at the event, it can be
submitted on Wednesday, December 2 from 6:00 to
9:00 p.m., or on Thursday, December 3 from 10:00
until 8:00 p.m.
If you would like to participate in the musical
performances with your talent, contact Melissa
Wilhite at 208-821-8354.
