Live Nativity is set for Alpine

ALPINE - The annual Live Nativity is scheduled for December 20, 21, and 22 near Kokernot Lodge. 

In its 17th year of production, the Live Nativity is the highlight of the Christmas season for many in the Tri-County. 

Complete with beautiful costumes, inspiring music, assorted animals, and scriptural narration, the Live Nativity helps us who live in this incredibly fast-paced society to stop and remember what it might have been like to have a front seat viewing of the night Christ came into the world. 

Each performance will begin at 7 p.m. with a mini-concert by the High Frontier Choir. 

The Live Nativity will include a cast made up of local people of all ages - but there is always room for more! Patty, the 35-year-old paint donkey will again be one of the stars and various goats will be in the field with the shepherds. 

The main advice from the folks who produce the re-enactment is to dress warmly by layering clothes - don't forget gloves and hats as well! 

Sponsored by the Sul Ross State University Baptist Student Ministry, Michael's Mountain Ministry and the Alpine Ministerial Alliance, the Live Nativity will take place in the "stable area" between Kokernot Lodge and the SRSU Outdoor Theatre.  

The public is invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets to be close to the action or watch the play from your car. Hot camp coffee, hot chocolate and cookies will be served free of charge after each performance. 

To be included in the cast, simply call Karen McGuire at 837-3075 or Lesley Vrudny at 837-2619.  Anyone wanting to be in the play can just show up by 6:15 at Kokernot Lodge to "robe up" and receive instructions.   

The event is free to the public.
