Web Comment "Sheri" \| 9:37 a.m. Dec. 8, 2008 - Connection: Providing Animals www.ivieacresfarm.com \| We are really excited to be involved in the first year of this Living Nativity! It is our pleasure to be able to provide the animals for this awesome event. We appreciate all the work that Virginia and Bob have done to make this happen in Salt Lake. Thank you to all who have been participated. It will definitely be the highlight of 2008 Christmas Season!!!!! Webmaster Greg: I understand there will even be a camel... how cool is that!
Desnews Reader "Wow" \| 1:53 a.m. Dec. 18, 2008 Wonderful Music, Great costumes, beautiful setting. What more can you ask for? Thank you for such a wonderful event. Merry Christmas!
Desnews Reader "Sister" 9:00 a.m. Dec. 18, 2008 Thanks for sharing with us. I saw it all in the camel - so humble and patient. I love and admire you both for sharing your testimonies of the reality of the birth of our Savior in such a beautiful sacrifice of your time, money, and well-being, especially at this time of year. Thanks to all who shared their talents; truly an amazing production....
Desnews Reader "Anonymous" \| 9:14 a.m. Dec. 18, 2008 The music is amazing!! This is a great event.
Desnews Reader "Anonymous" \| 10:36 a.m. Dec. 18, 2008 I attended last night and, frankly, I wasn't expecting much. But, I was very pleasantly surprised. It was fantastic! Very moving, great music. And short, too! (A definite plus in my book.)
Desnews Reader "Vicki" \| 3:14 p.m. Dec. 18, 2008 Anything Virginia and Bob Baird create and Clive Romney writes the music to, is gold!
Kelson kissing Chuck	"Chuck the Camel" \| 10:36 a.m. Dec. 18, 2008 I am completely comfortable in extreme heat or cold, but the weather here in Liberty Park has been GREAT! No wind because of the gorgeous trees. And besides, there are space heaters, so it is fine... but even if it was really cold, I would come and listen to this music and see the great costumes even if my owners at www.ivieacresfarm.com weren't involved! Love it! Come see me! Can't wait for tonight! PS... Rosco the sheep told me he, the other sheep and the donkey love it too! Oh, and can someone bring me some hot chocolate? (just don't tell sheri :) and can I try the sled hill sometime before the performance? That looks AWESOME too! (translation by Greg Davies)
Desnews Reader "Robert and Kristin Durrans" \| 4:11 p.m. Dec. 18, 2008 We are so very grateful to have been asked to join the crew of many Shepherds for this glorious event! We enjoy being able to share in the giving back to our community. We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!
Desnews Reader "Lonna A" \| 9:26 p.m. Dec. 18, 2008 This was amazing! Bob & Virginia are very very talented people! The atmosphere was perfect! I loved seeing the live animals, hearing the wonderful music, admiring the costumes, etc.. Can't believe all the many hours of free volunteered time went into this project. Thank you!
Desnews Reader "Moved!" \| 10:09 a.m. Dec. 19, 2008 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!
Desnews Reader "Great family event" \| 12:11 p.m. Dec. 19, 2008 We attended on Thursday night and absolutely loved it. We bundled up and hardly even noticed the cold. It was just the right length. Long enough to get the whole spirit, but short enough for children to enjoy. Our four year old daughter loved the live animals. I would highly recommend this to families! Thanks to everyone who sacrificed so much to make it happen.

Web Comment "Ron Petek" \| 12:04 p.m. Dec. 20, 2008 - Taylorsville, UT - Connection: One of the Wisemen \| (Heard about the event from Clive Romney who wrote the music) The music has really touched my heart and inspired me... "and yet there are more precious gifts that we bear, we bring him gifts of a lifetime devoted to him, A soul full of mercy, A life freed from sin, A heart that will seek him and give everything, these are the gifts we will give to our KING!"
Web Comment "Michael Slade" \| 10:41 p.m. Dec. 20, 2008 - Riverton, UT - Connection: Internet Search \| I had a great time tonight at your presentation. I came to photograph the live Nativity for my blog, 'Creche-a-Day'. You can see it here: http://creche-a-day.blogspot.com/ Love the singing, love the camel, love the whole idea and the spirit it shares. Planning on bringing the whole family on Monday. Keep it up and Merry Christmas!
Web Comment "Hollie" \| 9:55 a.m. Dec. 25, 2008 - South Jordan, UT \| I loved it!! The music was so beautiful. I was a little nervous about it keeping my children's attention. But as we walked away, my six year old said "I loved that!" Each station was just the right amount of time that even my three year old kept his interest. It was a great addition to allow the children to pet the animals. My three year old loved looking for the animals at the next station. What a wonderful way to help bring the spirit of Christmas. Thank you to all the volunteers for your time and effort!
Web Comment "Mazie" \| 12:20 p.m. Jan. 14, 2009 - North Salt Lake, UT \| Help: I Have A Comment Thank you Virginia and Bob! Thank you for your gift of love and desire to bring Christ\'s birth into our remembrance. I am very appreciative of your willingness to create and give this spiritual experience to our community. Thank you to the many volunteers that donated their time and talents to make this event a highlight of my Christmas.
Web Comment "Lorraine" \| 8:11 a.m. Dec. 19, 2009 - Midvale, UT \| Deseret News Thank you to all the volunteers in "Echoes of Christmas." 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.
