Pecan - Walnut Festival
Heart of the Shepherd @ Shepherd's Cross
December 12, 13, 14 & 19, 20, 21, 2019 Thursday, Friday & Saturday 10:00 am - 8:30 p.m.

The Living Nativity at Shepherd's Cross is an indoor, heated walk through event. Come on out and join us in celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ complete with farm animals and costumed characters inside an Amish built barn. Be prepared to enjoy the peaceful setting of an authentic working sheep farm adorned in white lights for the season. The Living Nativity will proceed even in the case of inclement weather.

As you open the barn door and step back in time you will experience spinning, weaving and wool working demonstrations. Enjoy complimentary apple cider & cookies as you listen to hourly performances of Dramatic Story Telling or Live Music. Story telling will include "The Inn Keeper's Wife" the story of Christ's birth from the perspective of the Innkeeper's Wife's, written & told by Frankie Campbell, and "Menagerie at the Manger" the story of Christmas from the view point of the animals at the manger, written & told by Linda Allen. We welcome many local talented musicians including violinist, flutist, guitarist, gospel musicians, and quartets. But there is always room for more. Contact us if you would like to perform.

Many will contemplate the original Christmas as they take a wagon ride in the sheep pasture, Journey with the Shepherds as they journeyed to see the Christ on that first hallowed night. Rides are available every hour ($6.50 per person, cancelled in inclement weather).

Children always enjoy our free Children's Christmas activities including an audio-visual story, making a bird feeder, entering the coloring contest, visiting the Farm Museum, and Educational Silo.

Shepherd's Shop will be open, featuring a host of Made in Oklahoma crafts & gifts. Over 50 artisans provide lovely unique hand-made Christmas gifts for sale.
