"It's just a really special, very spiritual event," Dimick said. "It is very serene and comforting and nobody wants to leave. They stay for hours."

Last year, more than 2,000 people attended the Goshen creche exhibit.

This year, thanks to increased publicity and events, Dimick said she's hoping for 4,000, though she'd really like to see 10,000 come during the three-day event.

"We feel it is paramount that we have a feeling of unity in our community, regardless of religion, for the very word community means together in unity," said Ruth Davis, the Goshen Stake Relief Society president.

Dimick said she is also looking to unite the community during the Christmas season.

"One of our goals was to unify the communities and to create an interfaith commonality so we could work with people of other faiths and get to know them," Dimick said.
