From Lane Stadium to Santa's Workshop Directly to the Toyshop
It's hard to imagine the buzz of a college football game transitioning effortlessly into the serenity of Santa's Workshop. Yet, for one lucky fan, that improbable journey is about to begin! After catching a touchdown pass at Lane Stadium, they find themselves suddenly transported to the North Pole.
- Perhaps it was a special Christmas ornament, or maybe a grinning snowman had something to do with it.
- Whatever the reason, our fan is about to experience a unforgettable adventure filled with gingerbread houses and of course, the one and only Santa Claus!
