Dear Traveler:
Sleigh bells ring! Are you listening? I sure am. Up at Adventurist
HQ, I’ve added a few jingle bells to the old mountain bike to ring
in the season. There’s a fair amount of action up in the forest
this year. This morning, I was informed by a very special North
Pole delegation that Ol’ Mister C, the big St. Nick himself, had
recently booked a night at an undisclosed Transylvania location to
de-stress post-Holiday rush and possibly try out a couple of
trails. No word yet on how Rudolph handles on single tracks, but I
will, of course, keep you updated.
In the meantime, there’s plenty to do and see out there almost
every day if you’re keeping an eye on the advent calendar: parades,
presents, Christmas trees, carolers, art, drama, adventure and all
the cozy small-town charm you can handle. When it comes to holiday,
we are totally in the zone and trust me when I tell you, we can’t
wait for you to help us celebrate a White (Squirrel) Christmas with
all the trimmings.
See you in 2019,
The Adventurist
PS: Please don’t forget to enter our White Squirrel Giveaway here.

You’re
free to celebrate the season whatever way you see fit, but Santa

celebrates old and new traditions with a “Remembering the Past,
Embracing the Future” theme. After Santa concludes the parade,
stick around as downtown Brevard is transformed into a sparkling
winter wonderland as part of the Twilight Tour, where the Yulest of
the Yule can enjoy live music, carriage rides, yummy treats and
lots more.
