I'm sure the folks at the Stony Creek Church of Christ have heard this plenty of times, but I just have to say, "great job, Stony Creek!" This year's annual nativity scenes display was amazing, starting with the hundreds of candle-lit luminaries volunteers fired up along either side of the road driving in, just after the intersection of 146 and leading under the bridge and into the village. Lots of llamas, donkeys, sheep; beautiful scenery and costumes, and plenty of willing kids of all ages, dressed up and doing a great job on a chilly, but beautiful night. Thank you!
