You're cordially invited! Meet Santa on December 6th. There will be plenty of attractions and various booths, including my own. You'll be able to buy Christmas soy candles. For yourself or a loved one 🎁
🎄 Is it too early to mention the C word? 🎅
I remember hearing somewhere that you're not supposed to mention Christmas before November...
Well, it's officially November, so I guess we're allowed to talk about it now! 😂
And what better way to get into the festive spirit than with Cache & Craic III: Santa's Stash! 🎁
After two Cache & Craic events, we're back for our third edition, and this time we're bringing a little Christmas magic to the geocaching community!
Whether you've attended before or are thinking of making your first trip, we'd love to see you there!
