The Annual Elko Regional Christmas Crèche Committee invites the community to participate in this year’s exhibit by sharing nativities—and special this year, Christmas wreaths—with the exhibit.
2016 marks the twelfth year for the interdenominational exhibit hosted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 3001 North Fifth Street in Elko.
The 4-day exhibit opens December 1. Those wishing to share wreaths and nativities are invited to bring their items to the Church during the two days prior to the opening of the exhibit. It is asked that wreaths, wall hangings, framed art, and anything that needs to be hung on a wall be brought to the exhibit during set up on Tuesday, November 29, followed by nativities on Wednesday, November 30.
Along with nativity displays and Christmas wreaths, the exhibit will also feature a live Nativity re-enactment, live musical performances, and original children’s artwork.
In partnership with Joshua Tree Shelter, the exhibit is pleased to be collecting gifts for the homeless. Gift donations of socks, gloves, hats, hand warmers, food gift cards, boots, tarps, and the like are welcomed.
