A Living Nativity will be represented in Odebolt on Saturday, December 3, from 12:30 - 1:00 p.m. just east of the Odebolt Community Center. It is part of the Christmas in Odebolt celebration and is sponsored by the Odebolt-Arthur-Kiron Ministerial Association. Transport your family to ancient Bethlehem and experience life as it may have been that clear and silent night so many years ago. The program will feature Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus. There will also be shepherds, angels and animals.
This is the fourth year for the nativity in Odebolt. Once again this year the animals will be provided by Meyer Petting Zoo in Holstein.
There is no admission. Don't forget to bring your cameras and dress warmly!

OA STUDENTS VISIT BUSINESSES
The Odebolt-Arthur first graders enjoyed delicious treats served by Caroleen Loeback recently at the DownTown Cafe. Mrs. Smith's and Mrs. Schulte's students were learning about communities in reading and social studies as well as patterns in math. So this was a perfect opportunity to transfer their learning into a nice community service project. The students helped decorate a tree with various patterns of shapes and colors. They took their pictures to be displayed at the local cafe so the community could enjoy them during the holiday season. When asked what Christmas means, the students concluded that the very best "present" under anyone's Christmas tree is the "presence" of a happy family!
Along the way to the cafe, the students made several stops at some businesses in our community. They learned what each business does to help in our community.
