Adairville Mayor Donna Blake said the project is a source of positivity and hope for the community.
âItâs especially important this year,â Blake said. âPeople are having such a rough time getting into the Christmas spirit due to everything going on, and this is something that people will look forward to seeing.â
The idea of the Nativity scene was made in conjunction with Blake and restaurant owner Deborah Hersch of Ariella Bistro & Bar in Russellville.
Hersch said she had heard that Adairville was a small, impoverished community filled with kind and religious people.
With an estimated population of about 800 people, seven churches can be found in Adairville.
