During the Christmas
season, Charles and Dayle Elsesser of Gaylord Road set out their
Neapolitan Creche for all to see and admire. At night the scene is
lit and often draws many people from outside the immediate area. Each
figure represents someone special to the Elsesser family. Face moulds
are taken and then castings are made and added to the figure. Each
lifesize figure is made of wire, cloth and plaster and new figures
are added every year. They include adults, children and animals. The
pictures below do not do justice to the spectacular scene, however,
they will give you an idea of the extensive set-up and design that
takes place every winter here in Gaylordsville.
