The children in the UTC Children’s Center got into the spirit and came to decorate the tree in Founders Hall with ornaments they made.

The Mocs train made an appearance in two community holiday parades this year. UTC participated in the annual Mainx24 parade. Mainx24 is a 24-hour long festival celebrating Main Street and the surrounding Southside, held every December since 2007. The train also made its way through downtown Chattanooga for the city’s annual Starlight parade.
