The final day of Christmas at Old Fort Concho begins with a classic chuckwagon breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, coffee and juice. Hosted by the San Angelo Cowboy Church Chuck Wagon Team in the fort's stables, the breakfast costs $10 per person and runs from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Stick around for an old-fashioned worship service with preaching and singing that begins at 10 o'clock in the stables.
