Thousands of visitors flocked to the Ernest Wickard farm on Highway 30 to view the Christmas Nativity display from December 23 to January 2. The couple, aided by neighbors, registered 3,730 visitors while many more paused to enjoy Mary Joseph the Wise Men and the camel around the Babe in the Manger. The doll representing Infant Jesus, a family keepsake, was placed in the scene six years ago by Mrs Wickard’s mother.
