There's always something interesting to see "through the windows" at World's Window. The front window displays showcase their interesting mix of clothing, accessories, gifts and folk art. For the holiday season, one section of windows is filled with their annual nativity show of more than 150 nativities from around the world. Owners Jan and Lonnie Buerge love watching customers pause in front of the window to gaze at all the ways the creche is portrayed throughout the world. Nativities are made of corn husks, discarded oil drum metal, seed pods, wool felt, carved stone, olive wood and orange peel.
