From NJ.com:
Harold Kafka has created a nice little side business bringing the docile sheep, goats and donkey at his family’s Watchung horse farm to petting zoos, events and, frequently this time of year, Nativity plays. So when the family acquired a baby camel named Preston last year, the frisky yearling quickly became the must-have addition for church Nativity plays the state over. Preston has been booked solid through December, sometimes doing two or three plays a day — including an appearance last weekend at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Somerville. And though Kafka and his children are at the mercy of whatever costume they are given when they arrive, Preston arrives with his own hand-woven wool blanket and hogs the spotlight.

Posted on December 26, 2010 at 6:24pmHere is a money maker. Shopping malls can rent out a place fully decked with a Christmas tree, nativity scene, carols, yule tide, beds for kids to sleep, Christmas dinner etc. to those who would like a “professional” Christmas setting without going through all the trouble of setting it up and the taking it down.
