Guests are moved  by the serenity of this event, as they witness the scene unfold narrated by WHUD's Kacey Morabito Grean.  The actors, accompanied by three Hudson Valley Llamas, (camel stand-ins) pantomime the Christmas Story.  The Hand-to-Mouth Players add to event by telling the story through the singing of carols.  On Sunday evening Jonathan Kruk, acclaimed Hudson Valley Storyteller, will start the off the event indoors, with stories of the true meaning of Christmas at 5 pm, with the Living Nativity immediately following at 5:30.
