One hundred creches from 40 nations will be in a nativity display at Meredith Bay Colony Club the weekend of Dec. 7-9. Many creches are hand-made and represent fine indigenous artistry and craftsmanship. Materials range from a goose egg with silver wire figures to banana leaves, to the more traditional ceramics, wood, and metal. Many were found in Rev. John Eaton's foreign travels and are designs not available in the United States.
For the first time in its eight year history, a large selection from the display will be for sale, most at a fraction of original cost. All proceeds will support local charities.
Meredith Bay Colony Club is a not-for-profit retirement community located at 21 Upper Mile Point Drive in Meredith, up the hill at the Routes 3/106 roundabout. Hours for the show and sale are Friday 12-5 p.m., Saturday 9-5 p.m., and Sunday 12-3 p.m. Admission is free.
