Precious Moments closing some attractions He said a small number of events had been booked at the wedding island and “most likely would be canceled.”
Parts of the business that support sales of Precious Moments figurines have increased in the past year and officials expect that to continue. A large tract of land surrounding Precious Moments is owned by the firm or related interests, and Huwel said he expects that some of that property will eventually be sold off. He noted much of that land has been annexed into Carthage. Growth in Carthage is headed toward Precious Moments, including the new McCune-Brooks Hospital that is on property that had been owned by the park. “We anticipate that over a number of years, the area around us will continue to develop,” he said. “With that, our intention is to preserve our core area and the core experience of Precious Moments.” Timeline The Precious Moments Chapel opened early in 1987 and the visitor count at the chapel was reported at more than 400,000 in 2001. The Fountain of Angels opened in 1997 and was enclosed in 1999 so that shows could be expanded.
