From Lane Stadium to Santa's Workshop To The North Pole
It's hard to imagine the buzz of a college football game transitioning effortlessly into the peace of Santa's hokiemas 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.
- 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 whirlwind adventure filled with sugarplums and of course, the one and only Santa Claus!
