Walking Through Bethelehem

Just completed our 4th Annual Walk Through Bethlehem presentation. Three nights. More than 7000 guests enjoyed the experience. Nothing like seeing, tasting, touching and smelling Bethlehem without leaving Southern California.

Bert the camel and the petting zoo section assure the smell component.

Great weather. Good time for families. What I enjoy most is watching the eyes of children as they come through. For those under six I suspect they actually think they have entered Bethlehem.

Share some pictures here for you.

Hope you are each enjoying your preparations for Christmas Day. What a day it was!

Walk Through Bethlehem!

We are delighted to host the premier Christmas experience in the San Gabriel Valley each year.

Walk Through Bethlehem begins this Friday night and runs for three consecutive nights (December 12,13,14) from 5-9:00 p.m.

If you've attended previously, I'm confident you'll return. If you have not found your way to 1515 South Glendora Avenue in Glendora, California - pack up the family and come on over. The line moves quickly and the experience of walking through first century Bethlehem will be a memory you'll keep for the remainder of the season.

Be prepared for the rantings of Herod, the pushiness of Roman guards, the smell of animals which would have pervaded the manger scene, and have your picture taken with Bert-the-camel. The Beduin shop keepers and beggars may try to separate you from your money but a polite "no thank you" usually sends them scurrying.

I spent a day at Disneyland last weekend and while the Christmas Season was in full swing, there is a notable absence of the "Christ" part. Kind of empty actually.

If you are looking for something fun to do which won't cost you much---like FREE---then this is what you want to do. Bring the family. Bring the neighborhood. See you at our best ever WALK THROUGH BETHLEHEM.
