Day Trip: Cullman Christkindlmarkt

HOW THE DAY RUNS:

• 1:00 PM Eastern - we leave from Sportsman's Warehouse
• We stop along the way at the Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, the world famous lost luggage store, always good for a browse
• It is roughly two and a half hours down, and Cullman is on Central time, so your phone jumps back an hour on the way
• Afternoon and evening at the market to shop, wander, and eat dinner
• We stay through sundown, when the whole park lights up
• Around 7:00 our time we head for home, so plan on a full day and a late evening

THE MARKET ITSELF: Cullman Christkindlmarkt, Depot Park, 107 Arnold St NW.

• Admission is free
• On the Friday we are there it runs 11 in the morning to 9 at night, Central time
• Over 60 vendors, German food and drink, and live entertainment
• Ice skating, a double decker carousel, and horse carriage rides
• Alabama's largest Ferris wheel, a 108 foot ride brought over from Germany
• The Weihnachtspyramide, which is the tallest Christmas pyramid in North America
• Parking around Depot Park is a mix of free lots, paid lots and street parking, so we will sort that out together when we get there

HOW THIS ONE WORKS: right now we are building an interest list, not capping a head count.

• Add your name below to tell us you are in
• There is nothing to pay and nothing to reserve today
• How many of us go is what decides whether we carpool, rent a van, or book a bus
• That same number is what sets the per person price for your ride down
• The moment those details are locked, we come back to everyone on this list first with the plan and the price
