The three wise men bow before baby Jesus in Mary's arms during the first-ever live Nativity performance at the Mercer County Fairgrounds in December 2007. The two-day drive- and walk-through event drew 1,500 vehicles. Visitors donated a half-ton of food and nearly $500 cash, which was be distributed to area food pantries. Seven Celina-area churches sponsored the Nativity. Nearly 250 congregation members - including a real baby portraying infant Jesus - participated.
