Nativity Scene Redeployed on School Campus
The Junior College- Senior High School campus showcases a color Nativity created by Robert O. Blunk and his art students. Eight foot tall piers of papier mache figures were rebuilt after Thanksgiving with wire netting frames and extensive repairs. The setup features Mary, Jesus, Joseph, the Three Wise Men, shepherds and their flock. A prior Santa Claus figure was retired due to disrepair and is no longer part of the display. The project accompanied College Hobo Day events sponsored by the Veterans Club.
