La Posada/Live Nativity – 2012
The annual Posada Party was held on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 2, for local children. La Posada is a tradition originating in Latin America that dramatizes the search by Joseph and Mary for lodging.

Participating children were welcome to dress in costume for the procession, sing songs, and take part in activities. This was followed by a live nativity on the Pryzbyla lawn.
