Good morning, Bryan.

The Bryan-College Station community is celebrating the holiday season with a variety of Christmas events planned across town—highlighting local festive traditions.

Event details are set to be shared as the holiday season unfolds.

The Campus to Campus Rivalry Relay will take place this weekend between College Station and Austin to support the Army aviation community—benefiting Gold Star families—and honor service members.

Participants will run to raise funds and show support for families who have lost loved ones in service.

Texas A&M was named to Fast Company's Brands that Matter list because of its strong work to build a good brand over the past 18 months— this honor shows the university's effort to improve its image.

On December 1, Bryan ISD board members held a two-hour private meeting to select new officers and approved them without public discussion.
