The Grimes Family Christmas Scene an over 80 year tradition in Prineville, Oregon is a collection of miniature houses, buildings, and characters collected by Bethene Callison Grimes. For over 40 years the Christmas Scene was only seen by visiting the Grimes Home where the family set it up every year. As it grew so did the space it needed and for years the scene was set up in vacant buildings aroun

d Prineville Oregon. For the last 4 years the Christmas Scene is housed in the old 4-H Building at the Crook County Fair Grounds. The scene has now been made a 501(C)3 Non-Profit so that it can continue to be part of Crook County living for decades to come. We welcome you to come and see the scene and be reminded that Christmas is in every person's heart and that there is a child in us all.

Merry Christmas from the Grimes Family Christmas Scene! Thank you all!

Charming moment of the week:
A little girl was doing the Scavenger Hunt and she was very shy but finally asked mom her question.
What is an Outhouse? (You have to find Santa's Outhouse!)
Mom knew she needed to be careful.
She asked her if she knew what a portapotty is? She did! She she was able to find that old time porta-potty!
