Bob Laser prepares for his role as a wise man at the 2017 Christmas in Salem Crossroads pilgrimage, held the first weekend of December at Shields Farm in Delmont.

This past spring, it looked like 2017 might be the final year for Christmas in Salem Crossroads.

Thanks to a new organizing committee and a host of volunteers, more than 1,800 tickets were sold and the event is likely to carry on into the future.
