Angels and Shepherds can be any age and do not need to audition. All are welcome! We will need some animals for our Pageant. If your child is Kinder-1st grade and would like to be an animal, please let me know. We can have up to 5 animals, so let me know sooner than later. These spots go quickly!- To sign up your child(ren) for the Pageant, please email Melissa Durham at MDurham1812@outlook.com with your child’s name, age/grade, part they would like (angel, shepherd, or animal).
