Be one of the first to behold this magnificent and artistic show designed by collector, designer, decorator Sherrie Lewis.

The project is a result of the many lessons and principles I have learned over the years from guests on the Oprah Winfrey show. Beginning with Sarah Ban Breathnach and her book “Simple Abundance” Incorporating the principle of gratitude has been life changing for me along with the teachings of Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Eckhart Jolle and the Secret. By incorporating the principles I was able to accomplish one of my life goals. I literally had a miracle every day during the planning and creation process. . At first I was hoping to do it in a tourist spot, like Honolulu. One night on your show a guest said “Prosper where you’re Planted.” Instead of dreaming about accomplishing my goal in a tourist spot I realized that I live in Bakersfield, California and if I am going to accomplish this goal I should do it where I am planted.

Sherrie Lewis decorated day and night since October with the help of Christina Martinez, and Sharolyn Takata. The exhibit is mainly formed from the personal collections of Sherrie, Elizabeth Waite, and Mary Jane Harvey. Sherrie has been collecting nativities and ornaments for 25 years. Elizabeth has traveled the world searching for unique items. Mary Jane has contributed over 275 nativities. Anna Keene and Sharleen Keelsy have contributed original art work.

This event will be a educational and cultural experience for all ages. The event promises to be an outstanding community event, in addition to raising funds for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Kern County. Bring your entire family, all your friends, and neighbors. Everyone is invited. This will be a wonderful holiday event. Come and experience the true meaning of Christmas.

This is an event with a purpose. This is the show to see this year.
