DID YOU KNOW?
Our Cardinal Bird did some traveling this week with his Atlantic Coast Conference buddies. All 14 ACC mascots were on hand for Thursday’s annual tree lighting ceremony in Charlotte, North Carolina. A trolley took them around the city and they later met up with Santa for the big event, which also featured a church handbell choir, a high school choir and other family-friendly activities.
