Hey all,
This past weekend Our Lady of the Snows Shrine in
Belleville, IL launched the Way of Lights event, so I’m free to post this
now.
Last weekend (October 7-9) I drove down to St. Louis from Ottumwa, IA to help
Dan Parker and Gary McIntire set up the lifesize nativity scene and minifig
scale town of Bethlehem, among other things. It was pretty solid work right
up until midday Sunday when I left, but we got ‘er done. I had seen the
nativity scene before, but not all assembled. To all the guys at the studio
back in Seattle, great job. Really amazing. Also, getting to help Bethlehem
come together was an experience. After it was set up, Gary and I went back
and added some extra landscape touches; fun stuff.

Also while there, I got the chance to see Adrian’s snowman and poohbear IRL,
as well as some amazing creations by Nathan Sawaya. I wasn’t able to stick
around for the final touches, so I’m really hankering to go back down before
the end of December to see the entire display in all its glory.
All in all, I had a magnificent time. The people at the Shrine were
incredibly friendly and helpful, not to mention very curious. Shortly after
we got there we were known as “the lego guys” by everyone and their brother.
Really great place, not just for the lego. There are amazing exhibits and
displays and such to see, so if you’re at all able to, you should check it
out.
That is all,

Beutiful setup. I’ve always likes the slopes on sculpted faces, and Mary’s head
is a perfect example. The town is AMAZING (the moonbase compatibity had me LOL!
will you have more close-ups of the buildings, landscape, & shepherd/sheep? Are
any of the buildings besides the moonbase one completed on the inside? GREAT
JOB!
Jeff
