Bethlehem Marketplace a big holiday tradition in Steuben

The team was from Cameron Memorial Community Hospital’s Radiology Department.

This year’s event will be held on Dec. 5 from 4:30-7:30 p.m. The event features at least two rides for teams of up to four people from local companies and organizations starting at 5 p.m. Food and beverages will be available at the toboggan slide warming center. The racing clocked by radar concludes at 7 p.m. Awards are presented at 7:30 p.m. For details, call the chamber at 665-3512.

KARI’S LITTLE CABIN Saturday, November 30th from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

ANGOLA — One of the more renowned, long-running Christmas traditions in Steuben County is the annual presentation of Bethlehem Marketplace presented by Fairview Missionary Church.

The walk-through indoor drama will be presented for the 24th year between 1-5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 7 and 8, at the church, 525 E. C.R. 200N. Bethlehem Marketplace is one of Fairview Missionary Church’s bridge events that are designed to reach out to the community.

And reach it does.

Usually 3,000-4,000 people on average attend Bethlehem Marketplace during the weekend it is presented. Of those, about three-fourths of the people every year say they are first-time attendees. People who come to experience the production are from all over, including some from overseas.

The presentation is timed around Bethlehem the day after Christ was born.

Cindy Cairl of Fairview said the church plans to continue offering the Bethlehem Marketplace ministry.

“There are very few things we can do that would attract as many first-time visitors to FMC. It also offers areas of ministry that do not require special musical skills or other talents or that require lengthy time commitments. This is attractive to people who want to serve in some way but don’t have a lot of time or feel they are not gifted for some of the other ministry areas,” a Bethlehem Marketplace booklet said.

The church uses two semi trailers that are parked in the lower level parking lots to store most of the set each year.

The numerous costumes worn by the cast are kept above the sanctuary in a large storage area.

“The costumes of the period were researched before being made and are authentic to the time period,” Cairl said.

It costs Fairview about $4,000 to put on the production each year. That includes advertising, mailings and meals for workers and cast. To help offset that cost, donations are taken at the end of the walk through.

The music is designed to set the mood for the crowd before they enter the marketplace. Often the crowd is too large to fit into the streets of the marketplace all at once.

The sanctuary is used as the holding area for the crowd waiting to walk through the marketplace.

In past years, the production has had a wide variety of live animals.

And numerous little ones have been volunteered to portray the baby Jesus.

“People come to the Nativity scene in awe. Some leave in tears. They’re so moved by the experience,” Cairl said.

“It is a lot of work but it is also an opportunity for many people to use their spiritual gifts in ways they usually do not.

People who are ordinarily not in public ministry have the opportunity to touch 3,000 to 4,000 people in two days,” Cairl said.

For more details, visit fairview-missionary.org or call 665-8402.

Shipshewana offers month of holiday fun season, and visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite.

The trees will remain on display through the end of the holiday season.

Hendrickson said the town of Shipshewana is bustling this time of year because its offers visitors something the big box stores can’t — the sights, the sounds and the feeling of an old-fashioned small-town Christmas.

“You’ll see Christmas lights and hear Christmas music, and it feels like a real hometown Christmas around here,” she said. “At each store, you’ll always be greeted at the door by a friendly face who says hello. You can’t find that at a big box store.”

Returning this year for the holiday season is a gingerbread house display at Davis Mercantile, 255 E. Main St. The gingerbread houses are on display starting Nov. 25 through Jan. 1.

Event coordinator Nate Jones said he expects to see at least 15 gingerbread displays this year, each set up in the hallway in front of hardware store.

Some of the gingerbread houses displayed in past years have been so creative and ornate they’ve gone on to compete in national gingerbread house competitions. Visitors will have to chance to see all the gingerbread houses and vote for their favorite.

On Dec. 3, it is Wana Night Out, when stores will stay open until 8 p.m.

Kids’ Day, something the merchants are calling a “passport to fun,” takes place on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Children will be issued a free passport just for visiting The Davis Mercantile, and can travel to locations throughout the town of Shipshewana collecting gifts and

surprises.

Special collector pins celebrating the town’s 6th annual Shipshewana Ice Festival are on sale now. The pin will allow a wearer to get into the Ice Festival’s Chili Cook Off contest for free, as well as qualify its owner for special discounts at most Shipshewana retailers throughout the month of January.

The Shipshewana Ice Festival wil be held right after Christmas, on Dec. 27-28.

It kicks off on Dec. 27 with ice carving.

This year, the festival will feature teams of ice carvers positioned through the town.

Those carvers will be creating special, one-of-kind ice sculptures. More than 30,000 pounds of ice will be trucked into town to be carved into works of ice art on the streets of Shipshewana.

The Chili Cook Off will take place in The Davis Mercantile parking lot on Dec. 28. Weather permitting, Shipshewana will also host a snowman building contest as well.

SHIPSHEWANA — It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, especially in the town of Shipshewana.

Shipshewana merchants have already kicked off the local holiday season, and one look around town shows that Christmas is big in this community.

“Every year, more and more people seem to be discovering Shipshewana during the holiday season,” said Susan Hendrickson, office manager for the Shipshewana Retail Merchant’s Association.

She said some 20 years ago, Shipshewana was a pretty quiet place during December.

“But that’s not true anymore,” Hendrickson explains.

In order to celebrate the season, the local merchants are hosting a number of events, all designed to make visiting Shipshewana during the holidays more fun than ever before. It all kicked off with a Christmas parade earlier this month, the first for northeast Indiana.

This year, businesses throughout the town will be participating in the SRMA’s “Shimmer Walk,” a town-wide celebration of Christmas that centers around a collection of nearly 40 specially decorated Christmas trees.

Trees have always been a part of the town’s celebration, but in years past, the merchants decorated trees that were displayed at the Shipshewana Town Center.

Like last year, the unique trees will be on display at all of the various businesses throughout Shipshewana. Merchants are encouraging visitors come to town, park the car and take a “Shimmer Walk” to see all the trees.

Each tree will be decorated to reflect the

In the late 1970s, some thought the LeFevre name would be retired when the trio retired, but in the 1980’s and 90’s, Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart became one of the top acts in Contemporary Christian Music. Once again, the LeFevre name continued to break new ground in Christian Music. With feet firmly planted in faith and family, drawing from the stream started by the LeFevres and carried on by Rex Nelon, Kelly, Jason, and Amber crystallize a new vision for the Nelons three-decade gospel legacy.
