Does the Nativity ever get cancelled?

Unfortunately, since the Nativity is outside, if there are severe weather conditions the Nativity will be cancelled. Severe conditions include extremely low temperature (such as under 20 degrees windchill) and snow. To get to the Nativity, you must drive on gravel roads that are hard to navigate under icy and snowy conditions. In addition, parking is located in an adjacent field, and because of such, if conditions are too muddy from previous days’ rainfall, the nativity may have to be cancelled as well. Guest will be notified via email. Since reservations fill up quickly (in less than three hours in some years) cancellation will not be made up.
