Nativity Animals

The day after Thanksgiving the Joseph Smith Memorial begins its Christmas season. We have two evenings with a live Nativity. A family brings their small, friendly donkey and two sheep for all to come by and feed and pet. We had more than 2,200 guests come just for the animals, and of course the cookies and hot cider .... haha! We had more than 15,000 guests come in their cars just to see our lights. (That's alot for remote Vermont) It was a busy month. Children who came loved our donkey named "Forest" and he loved their carrots and apples.
