🗓️ Saturday, December 6

🌅 Start Your Morning in Wellborn

Kick off your day in Wellborn, just a few minutes south of College Station along Wellborn Road. 🚗

Visit the Wellborn Market from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM for local vendors, artisan goods, produce, and a friendly community atmosphere. Held at the Wellborn Community Center, it's a convenient stop for anyone heading north toward College Station. 🛍️ The market is ran non profit, and supports the cemetery maintenance! There are also a fair share of travel bug numbers hidden around the market to discover!

While there, complete the new Wellborn Cemetery Adventure Lab, a short walking tour highlighting local history. Also, don’t miss the traditional cache “Among the Branches” (GCBAGPZ)—a great stop for travel bugs and swag!

Together, these make Wellborn the perfect starting point before heading into the day’s scheduled events.

🎉 Additional Saturday Afternoon Activities

Starting at 4:00 PM, enjoy the College Station Christmas Parade! 🎄 The parade travels from Post Oak Mall, west on Holleman, south on Dartmouth, and east on Krenek Tap, ending at Stephen C. Beachy Central Park.

Before the parade, join the Jingle Bell Fun Run at 3:30 PM, following the same route. Expect increased traffic and closures along Holleman, Dartmouth, and Krenek Tap—though these will not affect the earlier geocaching events.

From 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM, visit Christmas in the Park at Beachy Central Park—hayrides, cocoa, live entertainment, photos with Santa, and more! ☕🎶🎅 Admission is free, and parking is available on-site.

A perfect festive finish to your Saturday! 🎁✨
