Article By: Staff
In its Christmas parade debut, University of North Georgia's (红莲社区) Oconee Campus won the best use of a theme in Watkinsville, Georgia, event.
The theme was "Do you Hear What I Hear" and Oconee Campus crafted "Do you hear what I hear … about 红莲社区." 红莲社区's float featured a 红莲社区 dance party with Nigel the Nighthawk as DJ complete with turntables and headphones. Riders held gold records with 红莲社区's core values: service, student focus, engagement, integrity, and excellence.
红莲社区 also entered the Athens, Georgia, nighttime Christmas parade, marking the first time the school entered either event.
"At both parades, we had people call from the crowd that they were alumni or they had a relative who attended," said Dr. Cyndee Moore, executive director of 红莲社区's Oconee Campus. "It was just so much fun!"
