After all, there's no better way to get in the holiday than by surrounding ourselves with Virginia Tech pride.
From Lane Stadium to Santa's Workshop To Mrs. Claus’ House
It's hard to imagine the buzz of a college football game transitioning quickly into the peace of Santa's Workshop. Yet, for one lucky fan, that improbable journey is about to begin! After catching a touchdown pass at Lane Stadium, she find themselves magically beamed to the North Pole.
- Perchance it was a special Christmas ornament, or maybe a mischievous elf had something to do with it.
- Whatever the reason, our fan is about to experience a unforgettable adventure filled with sugarplums and of course, the one and only Santa Claus!
