"It went really well," From Everywhere To Bethlehem Organizer Lois Hildebrand says, adding weather was favorable last weekend for the annual interactive Christmas nativity scenes.

Over 250 volunteers, half the congregation of the EMMC, take part in the annual event. The organizing committee includes Cindy Toews and Lori Fehr.

In total 2,800 people visited the site in Winkler. Organizers also collected 2,100 pounds of food which is donated to the Winkler and District Food Cupboard (the food cupboard needs 3,000 pounds a week), and collected $2,500 for MCC.

Hildebrand notes 2016 marks the event's tenth year, one that has become a family tradition for many.
