Photograph caption dated December 24, 1962 reads, "Inspect work - Members of the Bethlehem Star Parade Committee, from left, Bill Overly, Dick Cronon and Bill Ravenscroft, inspect tent area where floats are under construction. In the background, workers rearrange the position of a float bed." Note: The Bethlehem Star parade is an annual project which represents the efforts of many groups in the Valley. Thirty-six churches will furnish floats depicting scenes from one of the seven periods of Christ's life - Prophecy, Nativity, Boyhood, Ministry, Miracles, the Period of Trial and Suffering, and Resurrection. An estimated 200,000 people will line Van Nuys Blvd. in Van Nuys to watch the Christmas spectacle. Thousands more will watch the all-religious parade over television.; See images #00115740 through #00115743 for all photos in this series.
