Festival-goers get ready.  The Union Junction Jamboree is back for its sixth year in historic downtown Union Point.  A full slate of activities are on tap again this year as returning and new vendors make plans for a full day of family-friendly fun on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

The smell of pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread will fill the air as the newly added “Pumpkin Pie and Pumpkin Bread Bake-Off”   is sure to become a festival favorite.  Participants are asked to prepare and bring their pies and breads the morning of the festival.   Judging with be done by capable community connoisseurs.  For registration information, please call event chair, Sherley Selman at (706) 486-4128.

Geocaching with local cacher, Ruth Hendrix is back again this year.  So what is geocaching?  Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices.   Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at various locations.  The hunt can be fun and challenging and Ruth along with fellow “cachers”  will be on hand the morning of to share information with those who are interested in “hunting” treasures hidden in the Union Point area.  Let the hunting begin!

Interested in spending a night at the Ritz or playing a round of golf at The Landing?  Opportunities to win this awesome package will be one of many prizes that the Union Junction Jamboree committee will be offering this year.  Tickets are available for purchase at the Greene County Chamber of Commerce, the Union Point Better Hometown office at City Hall in Union Point or any Union Point Better Hometown Board Member.

The fun zone for the kids, arts and crafts, model trains, classic tractors, great entertainment, and great food for all to enjoy when you visit with us at UJJ.  The fun begins when you arrive.  See you at the Jamboree.
