about
"Echoes of Christmas"...
"The inspiring music, realistic portrayals, live animals,
cheerful cast members, wood fires, gentle lighting, fresh snow,
and torch light combined to
more than offset the bite of the
cold.
This was an experience I will not soon forget.
Thank you
all for your significant sacrifices!"
"Thank
you ...Last night, my family and I
went to Liberty Park and watched in
awe as men and women, dressed in
wonderful costumes and in full
character, sang about the Savior and
the message of peace and hope. Our
children loved seeing the real
animals and hearing the sounds they
made. Despite the cold and darkness
of the night, our hearts were filled
with warmth and light. I urge you to
go. It's free and an experience
you'll never forget."
2008
Saw the first year of "Echoes Of Christmas" and
was very well received. Our hope is to make this
an annual gift to the community. The event is
suitable for families, youth groups, civic
groups, church groups, and other interested
persons.
This outdoor
search for the meaning of life
involving
interactions with a solitary shepherd
boy;
shepherds watching their flock;
a high priest at
the temple; wise men from the East; an inn
keeper and his wife;
Mary and Joseph; and hosts
of angels.
Guests will rotate from one scene and
musical presentation to the next being led by
shepherds guides.
The
event is produced by Virginia & Bob Baird, with
original music by Clive Romney, orchestration by
Larry Bastian, and direction by Marilyn
Montgomery. This event will surely become
an annual favorite.
Participation

We will be actively seeking volunteers for cast and
crew for next years performance and beyond.
Vocal roles

This is a non-denominational, inter-faith event
and we welcome all who love the Lord and want to help
keep Christ in Christmas!
Notes
There are propane heaters providing some heat at each
station.
Audience will walk to each of the seven stations
(about 1,000 yards)
along cement and/or plywood walkways.
Each of the seven stations has live performers representing different
aspects of the nativity. The performers will sing to
their own voices pre-recorded to the original music.
Each station's performance last 2-3 minutes
before your group is ushered to the next
performance.
The event takes approximately 30-40 minutes to walk through
each of the seven stations. 2008 saw the longest wait to
get into a group to be 30 minutes. Average wait was only
a few minutes. The last group usually goes through apx 8:45
pm each night finishing at 9:30pm. There is a dress
rehearsal open to the public on the night
before the opening performance.
