The Mexia Garden Club presented the Most Traditional Outdoor Christmas Lighting award to Danny and Sher Feuge and their grandson, James. The lovely display is located at 900 Hinchliffe Road. They have been collecting the decorations for many years. The nativity scene was started by Mr. Ferge with a few parts before they were married. The collection has special meaning since they were married at Christmas time.
